Been tested with patch 1.6 beta. Mounted combat is a go-go
Version 1.0 Has no ridable horses, but if you just want the ambiance of wild horses running around. This version is the one for you.
Description
===========
Makes Skyrim more immersive by adding herds of wild horses to various locations.
Details
=====
The horses can be killed, but they do respawn with the exception of wild stallions. You can loot hide and meat from them.
The horses are standalone, and should not overwrite (or be overwritten by) any other mods that change the appearance of horses, (ie. horse armour mods, re-modeled and/or re-textured horses).
In each herd there is atleast one ridable horse (stallion). When dis-mounting, the wild stallion will run back to his own herd. Wild stallions are meant for temporary transportation.
Location
========
There is a map in the zip file giving you a rough idea were the herds are located.
Install
=======
1. Copy the Meshes, Texture folder and HorsesGoneWild.esp file to Steam\steamapps\common\skryim\Data\
2. Start Skyrim Launcher, click 'Data Files', place a check-mark beside the .esp file.
Version 1.4:
Just to be on the safe side un-install older version, make a clean save in the game, then install version 1.4.
When installing version 1.4 you will be asked to overwite, click "Yes To All".
