FEATURES
Makes / adds room for your ride to park in Skyrim's vanilla stables
Adds additional little (= hostlerless) stables to lots of places
. where you'd want to shelter a ride, like inns etc (for detailed
. list, see below)
While rides are parked, they are protected (= killable by yourself
. only). Rides that are injured when they get parked will receive a
. full healing by drinking from a trough.
Adds player owned, non-respawning "Guest Chests" (and, in Whiterun
. stables, also a player owned bedroll (requested), should you need
. a place to sleep) to all of Skyrim's vanilla stables
THE STICK : easily establish parking functionality at up to 5
. locations of your choice
HORSE LEASH: make up to 3 of your rides follow after you
HORSE TIE: Tie up to 3 of your rides in place(s). If your current
. ride is tied, this prevents it from fast travelling with you
Adds optional map markers for your parked, tied or leashed rides
Works with stolen, found, conjured... rides
In Whiterun, Windhelm and Solitude, lets you send your horse back
. to the according stables from right at the city gate (so you can
. ride all the long ways there when overweight with loot and still
. have your ride properly parked)
Adds a couple of useful details in several places (like, in Riften,
. you'll now be able to pass through between the stable buildings to
. directly get to Honeyside's back porch over a new little staircase,
. etc...)

HOW TO USE
HORSE PARKING
To have a ride parked, just dismount it near (= within the individual
. influence radius of) a parking stable, it will walk to it's free box
. by itself and stay there until you get it back (any rides already
. parked in the same box will get "unparked")
Your current ride, if parked, will still fast travel with you (and get
. unparked). To make it stay in it's box instead, cast Horse Tie
If a ride getting parked after you dismount it is leashed, it will be
. automatically unleashed, so you can get your current ride out of it's
. stable without having to go mount it by simply casting Horse Leash
. (very handy with horses parked some distance away, or when you're back
. to get that stolen horse you parked and there's guards around, etc...)
Leashed rides currently following after you when you get close to a
. stable will keep doing so and not get parked. To get your currently
. following ride parked in that stable, unleash it.
You'll be notified about parked horses total count whenever a horse is
. parked or unparked.
A "Parked Rides" entry with map markers for your parked rides (in case
. you were on skooma when you parked them :-) will be displayed in your
. Quest Log's 'Miscellaneous' section whenever you have rides parked.
HORSE LEASH / HORSE TIE
...can be bought from any of Skyrim's vanilla (as well as most other)
. hostlers for 100 gold both.
...will be added to your Lesser Powers selection and come as toggle
. spells ("leash / unleash") so they can be favorized and hotkeyed.
You'll be notified about leashed and tied horses total count whenever
. a horse is leashed / unleashed or tied / untied.
HORSE LEASH
...always leashes / unleashes your last ridden horse.
. Leashed horses will follow you whereever they can (they'll not walk
. by foot like a dog though, but come after you only when you're some
. distance away) or, if you are too far to actually follow, run to you
. first.
. Whenever you are places your ride can't follow, it will wait around
. where you left it. Should you pop up in a different place (like the
. dungeon's back door), it will come to you.
Horse Leash is independent of your ride's distance, so you can cast
. it in Markarth on your ride stabled in Riften to have it come running
. all the way to you (pls note that it will actually _run_ and not
. teleport, so this might take it some time if it's far away.
Leashing a tied ride unties it.
Leashing a parked ride unparks it.
Unleashing a leashed ride near a parking stable parks it.
. In Solitude, Whiterun and Windhelm, unleashing your horse close to
. the city gates will also make it go park in the according stable.
A "Leashed Rides" entry with map markers for your leashed rides will
. be displayed in your Quest Log's 'Miscellaneous' section whenever
. you have rides leashed, so you can always track rides trying to
. path to you etc
Please note that all Skyrim actors (with very few exceptions) need
. a so called "Navmesh" to be able to walk even a single step into
. any direction - this includes your horse when you're not currently
. riding it. Many off places (like steep mountain cliffs etc) do not
. have a Navmesh though, which means your horse will neither be able
. to follow after you to such places, nor will it be able to follow
. you away from there (as a rule of thumb, anywhere you ever saw any
. legged creature run should be ok). Should you have dismounted and
. left it stuck in such a place, get back to your horse and ride it
. out, or, if you have Iskariot's "Whistle" mod, use Whistle - other
. than Horse Leash, it doesn't make your horse physically path to
. you, but teleports it (so won't care about a Navmesh).
HORSE TIE
...always ties / unties your last ridden horse.
. Tied horses will stay right where they are (except if engaged in
. combat they are allowed to move as far as necessary).
When you tie your current ride, it will also be prevented from fast
. traveling with you.
Horse Tie is independant of your ride's distance, it will make it
. stay in place whereever it currently was when you tied it.
Tying a leashed ride unleashes it.
Tying a parked ride will make it stay parked at that stable when
. you fast travel (instead of teleporting with you).
Tying a ride near a parking stable parks it.
. At Solitude's, Whiterun's and Windhelm's gates though, tying your
. ride will NOT make it walk back to the according stable (see Horse
. Leash), but tie it in place right there.
A "Tied Rides" entry with map markers for your tied rides will be
. displayed in your Quest Log's 'Miscellaneous' section whenever you
. have rides tied, just in case you forgot where you left them...
HORSE LEASH / HORSE TIE FOR MULTIPLE HORSES
If you have your horse leashed / tied when you change your current
. ride (by mounting a new one), the first one remains leashed / tied.
. This way, you can have up to 3 horses tied places plus 3 following
. after you
. (so, if you do NOT want to leash / tie more than 1 horse, pls make
. sure your previous one is unleashed / untied before you change)
If leashed / tied ride count exceeds 3, the longest leashed / tied
. one will automatically be unleashed / untied and returned to what-
. ever it's default behaviour is.)
Horse Leash / Tie will still always work on the last horse you rode,
. so to leash / unleash or tie / untie a particular horse that's not
. your current one, you'll have to mount it first.
THE STICK - CUSTOM PARKING LOCATIONS
A free The Stick will be added to every Guest Chest as soon
. as you have the Horse Leash / Horse Tie powers. Every one of them
. lets you to establish horse parking functionality in a place of
. your choice (up to 5 sticks/ places total).
To establish a horse parking location, maneuver your horse in
. exactly the place you'll want it to go.
. Then, walk away (in any direction) just as far as you'll want the
. new parking location to trigger your horse, and drop The Stick
. from your inventory (make sure to put it somewhere you'll find it
. if you want to pick it up later). The Stick will stick in the
. ground and Your parking location automatically be set up.
To clear an existing parking location, pick up The Stick .
. The Stick will be returned to your inventory for re-use
. and the parking location automatically be cleared.
Please note that all Skyrim actors (with very few exceptions) need
. a so called "Navmesh" (see Horse Leash). If your chosen place for
. for your new parking location happens to not have one, your ride
. will be able to neither get to nor get away from there. If this
. happens, pick up The Stick and choose another location.
GUEST CHESTS
One guest chest is added to every vanilla stable (see locations
. list below) - They're just player owned, non-respawning containers
. for you to safely store whatever stuff in and are available right
. away.

MOD COMPATIBILITY
Please put this mod as late as possible in your load order.
. Navmesh has to be adapted in lots of places so your horses can
. find their ways into their new stables (all 100% edits to vanilla
. navmeshes without any replaces or breaking any cell borders!), and
. latest mod in load order's navmeshes "win";
. from mods i am using myself, this especially goes for "Northern
. Bathhouses" and "Scenic Carriages", pls put this mod AFTER these
. in your load order. This will NOT affect their functionality in
. any way, but the other way around, they would.
Should work together with about any other horse mod (no incompati-
. bilities reported so far anyhow)
