<You stable your horse and it can get teleported to you at anouther stable on the islands.>

I didn't say that you can't get your horse to the islands, but it's a whole lot more ic to take it on a boat than to leave it at a stable and have it magically appear at another stable. I refuse to put my horse into a stable, however, since the last time I did she hadn't been fed.

I have three horses and, yes, they are often afraid of bridges and such, but they'll generally walk over most anything if they trust their handler enough. Today, horses are shipped by boat and airplane... it's not such a terrible stretch to think that we could have one hoisted onto a boat with us.

I don't think anyone is working on horses now, so we're probably out of luck for awhile.

How much do they cost?

What cities do you go to to buy one?

Not sure I will, just am kind of lost while thinking about it.

Folks,

First posted this in the Ranger folder but I hope to get more info here. I am 40th circle Ranger and want to learn spin and prance. When I ask the stablemaster to teach these to me he is busy. Is there some reason I can't learn these yet. If it helps, my stats are:
str 40 stam 40 agil 31 reflex 21
all others 20

Actually it doesn't appear to be totally circle based. You must also have a certain amount of animal lore to teach certain classes. As far as animal lore goes Spin and Rear should be learned easily if you have an amount roughly equal to what raising at least one raccoon teaches. Don't forget to ask the stableman if the stablemaster doesn't know anything about it.

i have horses selling at affordable prices for anyone that wants a
companion to join them in their adventures. I have several kinds in
stock at the moment. Base price is 15pk for a basic trained horse
(saddle/leadrope). Fully trained horses cost 45-55pk depending on the
color/designs they have. Rarer colors cost more.
If i dont have a horse in stock, i can custom herd one for you and
custom train it on a personalized pay scale. My goal is to make
horses accessible to all adventurers in the Realms. Store prices start
at 50plats for a basic trained horse so i think my prices are very
reasonable. Send an email to dropdown20@yahoo.com for any questions
or requests.

I am looking for:

1. The gold-colored horse is sixteen hands high with a pale gold-colored coat. It has a white mane and tail. The gelding has a small white mark centered on the forehead.

<<It MUST be a gelding that is sixteen hands.

2. The blue roan horse is fourteen hands high with a black coat that has white hairs interspersed throughout. It has a black mane and tail. The gelding has white marks on the legs extending from the top of the hooves to the top of the ankles.

<<It MUST be a gelding of between thirteen and fifteen hands.

No mares.

I will consider these markings on either horse but no others:
- with no other markings.
- a small white mark centered on the forehead.
- a small, thin white line running down the length of the face.
- a white mark extending from the top of the hooves to the top of the ankles.

If you have a horse like this for sale, please contact me at tradergnara@aol.com or simply IM me at Trader Gnara.

I would also consider feathered hooves. But has anyone caught a horse like that besides Dulcinia's stallion?

If you get a horse from a ranger, it all depends on that ranger. From the stables I think they run 40 plat or so for a basic trained horse.

As for the training, anywhere from free to 10 plat an hour. Again, depending on the ranger. I think I just sold my white horse, but I'll take a peak into my vouchers again.

As for upkeep, you can feed them free foraged grass. Stabling is relatively cheap (a few silver?). When I have my horse out and I'm playing a fair amount I'll sometimes leave it in a 'wild' area and log out. If you log out, the horse leaves to (beware leaving tack you prize on a horse). When you log back in the next time, as long as within the next day or two, the horse should reappear at that spot it left approx 10 minutes later. If you don't log in for a while longer, the stables will collect it and charge you a finders fee, something like a gold or two. Keeping a horse isn't terribly expensive.

I'm lazy, so I only looked through paged 1-15 of past posts, but didn't see anything specific.

Where... specifically, whom do I buy my Horse from in Horse Clan?

I see the Osage Pen, but cannot ORDER. I've been to the Horse Trader Tent. ([Zaldi Taipa, Horse-trader's Chadir]) and no one is there to order from.

Getting confused. Need a horse. Please send help.

Did you try asking about class/riding/horse/mount? Whatever the syntax is, it's fairly easy to figure out, and if you still have problems there's a player site or three that explains it all (ie, Wolf's Den or whatever it's called).


J'Lo, no that other one

I know at the Royal Mews in Xing, there are two stable masters in different rooms, one who deals with the horse classes, and one who teaches basic horsemanship. Perhaps there's a second in horse clan as well? Just a guess.

You hear a female voice whisper, "Easily used when offered, probably is like other men. Always speaking with their muscles, and not the one that rests between their ears."

I believe the nearest place to learn Horsemanship to Horse Clan would be in Steel Claw Clan. The stablemaster is just through the front door, and you do have the syntax correct.

Royal Mews, just out the northern gate of crossings.

This is a very annoying development. The stablehands don't have any trouble transporting horses through moongates.

Now whenever I want to travel, I will have to leave my horse behind. How inconsistent with the purpose of mounts is this? I miss my horse already.

-disgruntled moonmagess horsewoman

I tried leading, too. The result was that I'd go through the moongate and the horse would be left behind.

Questions were many. Answers were few.

What answers we did get at Simucon consisted of the following: (Please note these are MY recollections and are NOT binding on the GMs <grin>. Just because I misheard due to lack of sleep and copious quantities of alcohol does NOT mean the GMs have somehow reneged on stuff that is actually released if it is different.)

1. Rather than continuing to do 'special code' for various things, there is a STRONG movement in the GM world to standardize stuff with 'core' code that can then be extended and called upon by various similar systems. With that in mind, rather than "patching" horses, the intent is build a core system that can be used by familiars, companions, horses, and special riding critters such as goats and such. This will be coded by a team of GMs rather than trying to assign it to one GM. So.. it will not be something that will be completed even "simu-soon".

2. There will be some explorations done on some aspects of horses by the Paladin Team, with emphasis on the War Horse fighting capabilities. These small fixes/patches will be relatively minor upgrades and probably not noticed by many when they are rolled in. The BIG fixes (group riding, combat bonus/damage due to fighting while mounted, ability to whistle for your horse/familiar/companion to make them come to where you are, minor cargo capabilities for our critters, etc) will be part of the SYSTEMIC rewrite.

So.. bottom line. The entire system of "helpful critters" will undergo a rewrite as a complete SYSTEM with hooks to the various types of critters. This will be done by a team, hopefully bypassing the "Horse Curse" that seems to drive off every GM assigned to look into horses since Jeremael.

From the comments at Simucon, the outlook is more hopeful than it was before.. but don't hold your breath until it is completed. DO, however start posting your suggestions/ideas for companions, familiars, horses, goats, etc in the appropriate guild folders NOW to get your ideas out there while they are designing this new system.

Thanks for posting Redarch. Makes me happy to hear that horses (and even ranger companions!) are somewhere in the plans, even if its a long way off.

Yay! This sounds like a superb system in the works! Thanks Redarch for letting us know about it, and thanks GM's for working on it! I can't wait, although I know it will probably be years. All this new stuff is exciting! Makes living in Elanthia very pleasant.
