Biology

"The horses of Skyrim are hardy and stiff, and brand up for in endurance what they lack in speed."

―Loading Screen^[src]

All horses are a blazon of draft equus caballus which are native to Skyrim. Though horses can exist obtained in five colors. Horses can be rented from stables exterior of each major city. "Rented" means simply that the horses live in the stable from which they were purchased. The horse belongs to the Dragonborn later on its buy. Special horses are available by completing quests.

Endurance

All horses accept the power to rear and leap. Of the quest-obtained horses, Shadowmere possesses higher health than a non-unique horse, Arvak (Dawnguard) possesses several unique traits as a summoned creature, and Frost possesses higher stamina than a non-unique horse. Patch 1.6 introduced mounted combat.

Purchasing

With the exception of the three unique horses Shadowmere, Arvak (Dawnguard), and Frost, horses are bachelor for purchase at any of the stables listed below for m regardless of one's Speech skill. All not-unique horses differ in appearance but, and are otherwise identical in performance. Only one of the non-unique horses has a proper name prior to buy, which is Queen Alfsigr or Allie for short (spelling is speculative) in Whiterun.

Once purchased, a horse is considered endemic and can be identified by the "Player's horse" label on the HUD. One tin own multiple types of horses and multiple horses of the same type. The horse last ridden or fast traveled with is the ane that accompanies the Dragonborn. Any other owned horses return to the stable where they were purchased.

Stables can be built for manors in the Hearthfire DLC. A horse can so be purchased from the chosen Steward.

Shadowmere

Shadowmere, who makes a reappearance in the game during the Dark Brotherhood questline, is a unique horse. Shadowmere has a breastcollar and fancier saddle than the other horses, every bit well as a dissimilar determent. It appears to be the same speed and build as the other horses, but is extremely tough and tin hold its ain against Skyrim'southward hardiest foes, though it is worth noting that Shadowmere can be killed in farthermost cases of gainsay or during falls. Even with Shadowmere being able to dice like whatever other horse in Skyrim, Shadowmere will respawn after x days in-game at the location of death or at the pool where he was offset caused.

Frost

Another unique horse is a palomino stallion called Frost, obtained during the Riften quest Promises to Go on, if the Dragonborn is able to pass the Speech check. Frost can gallop for the same length of time as Shadowmere, but lacks Shadowmere's strength, having the same stats equally other palominos.

Arvak

Arvak is added with The Elderberry Scrolls Five: Dawnguard. Arvak can be summoned with the Summon Arvak spell unlocked afterwards completing the quest Find Arvak's Skull. Arvak is an undead horse, with purple flames as the tail and mane. If killed, Arvak volition but return to the Soul Cairn, and can be resummoned.

Borrowing and stealing

A black horse.

Stealing horses is considered theft and is a criminal offence against the possessor. Mounting a horse that is labeled "Steal horse" is a crime and generates a bounty. Common places to find horses to steal include military camps (both Stormcloak and Imperial), or forts, equally well equally being located within war encounters. Each fourth dimension a stolen horse is mounted, 50 gold is added to the Dragonborn's bounty, making horse theft an expensive crime. Nonetheless, it is possible to mount a stolen horse and not incur a bounty if non witnessed by anyone, including the horse, as in previous games. Even if ridden away right in front of the stable/army camp guards, there volition be no bounty.

Occasionally, the opportunity to borrow a horse is given. A horse that is available to borrow is indicated in the HUD past the simultaneous lack of the "Steal horse" label and the "Role player's horse" label. Arguably, the easiest equus caballus to borrow is from the Katla's Farm. Afterwards selling a unmarried slice of produce to Katla, you will be immune to borrow either horse from the stables. However, this horse will walk away after dismounting, as stolen horses do.

Bandits dressed every bit a faction may exist encountered. They say that this is none of the Dragonborn's business and volition set on. In one case they are dead one will discover a horse that tin be ridden. This does not count as stolen just information technology will leave when dismounted every bit stolen horses do.

During the Ceremonious state of war quests the Dragonborn has the opportunity to attack a broken down cart with weapons and gilded. Afterwards the guards are dispatched, the horse that would have been attached to the cart can be ridden. It has no saddle so it will be ridden bareback, and once dismounted it will wander off. Fast traveling puts the horse dorsum at the Dragonborn's position and so it can be remounted.

Riding and mounting

A rearing horse

While riding, a horse tin can walk (by toggling run off), canter, run, and gallop (dart), at the Dragonborn'southward unmounted walk, run and dart speeds. While mounted, the Dragonborn will possess greater stamina and strength, which allows for greater load capacity and sprint time. This increased load capacity while mounted allows for fast traveling while overburdened. In addition to their increased force and stamina, horses tin can besides charge through and spring over obstacles with like restrictions as the unmounted Dragonborn.

As with unmounted navigation, larger obstacles will pose like problems. If the jump button is pressed while the horse is walking or continuing still, the horse volition rear and neigh. This has no effect except to slide the horse astern a little. Horses can also swim, although they are slightly slower than the Dragonborn. Horses can easily dice from autumn damage, so care should be exercised when riding in mountainous terrain.

Horses cannot exist ridden inside houses, tombs, or other marked locations that require going through a door. They tin can exist ridden into Orc Strongholds. When approaching the gate, simply pressing the button volition open the door, though no prompt will announced, and the gate will open for the horse. When fast traveling into a city, the horse will exist found at the stable outside the city. For cities without stables, the Dragonborn volition remain on the horse and will exist able to ride it around the area.

Horses are usually not-ambitious and will often flee when dismounted in gainsay situations. Notwithstanding, horses sometimes assault aggressors or even defend the Dragonborn which can atomic number 82 to their death. Horses frequently pursue targets and are sometimes hard to find after doing then. Information technology is not brash to let a horse get anywhere near a Dragon as fifty-fifty the weakest Dragon will exist able to kill the strongest horse in i jiff.

• This is not truthful with Shadowmere and Frost, just care should be taken nonetheless.

Followers cannot ride horseback and will rapidly fall behind the mounted Dragonborn. To compensate for this discrepancy in traveling speed, the Dragonborn should "wait" for the follower(due south) to take hold of upward.

Mounted combat

The Dragonborn mounted with a crossbow, as seen in the Dawnguard trailer.

As of patch ane.half dozen, mounted combat is available. When wielding a melee weapon the Dragonborn can swing on either side of the equus caballus using either the primary or secondary attack buttons. Note that since the assail buttons are used to decide the direction the swing is unleashed, it is incommunicable to block or attack with a secondary weapon, although power attacks are still possible. Some two-handed weapons (e.g. Warhammer) can exist wielded with 1 hand.

Shooting a giant spider

The Dragonborn may also utilize a ranged weapon when mounted, however, as the photographic camera is locked to tertiary person perspective whilst riding, it may be difficult to hitting a target accurately. It helps if the Dragonborn has the Archery perks Eagle Heart and Steady Hand.

Spells and shouts (e.thou. Aura Whisper) cannot be initiated from horseback, but it is possible to dismount, cast the spell, then remount, and the effect volition be sustained for its normal duration. Similarly, spells that commonly tin can be toggled on or off (eastward.m. Night-Middle) cannot be used while mounted.

Purchasing a new horse after it dies

Some horses in Skyrim will spawn at a Concur's stable after waiting some fourth dimension at a dissimilar location. It will commonly have i–2 days for a horse to spawn and be available for purchase later on the one of the horses at the stable dies. The fourth dimension for a new horse to spawn for purchase depends on the actions at the stable, for example, if the histrion returns to the stable at which the one-time horse was bought, and steals an unsaddled horse before waiting a twenty-four hours and killing information technology, information technology will have at least one extra twenty-four hour period waiting in-game for a new equus caballus to spawn for purchase. The original horse will re-spawn in about 10 days waiting in-game, making 1 or more horses available for purchase at a Hold's stable. Information technology is as well possible, after the previous equus caballus dies, for a new saddled horse to spawn at a stable. Allowing it to exist purchased for 1,000 , and still making it and then the onetime horse will re-spawn without having to repurchase it. This will brand it so that 1 or more than horses tin can be owned at a stable at once.

Horses that re-spawn after they die

Horses that will be able for purchase afterwards the previous i dies are at

• Markarth Stables – Expect one day in-game, so return to the stables. At least one equus caballus should be available to be purchased by the Dragonborn. Old equus caballus will re-spawn.

Other smaller holds

• Winterhold (Majuscule: Winterhold)
• Falkreath Hold (Capital: Falkreath)
• The Pale (Capital: Dawnstar)
• Hjaalmarch (Upper-case letter: Morthal)

These are all the smaller Holds, which practise not have their own equus caballus stables. A carriage can be ridden to their capitals, but because 1 is not stationed there, the Dragonborn tin can not travel back out via a carriage.

Unsaddled horses

Besides the saddled horses there are also unsaddled horses not for sale in most of the stables. As nearly things in Skyrim, they volition too take ten days to re-spawn. Hither are the locations they re-spawn

Trivia

• There is a horse outside of Riverwood nigh the bridge that is non stealing merely as the Dragonborn does not ain information technology, it volition return to Riverwood as it is dismounted.

Possible bugs with respawning horses: Katla'due south Farm – Simply outside of Confinement, fifty-fifty afterward waiting ten days, the horse may not respawn for purchase, nevertheless the oral communication option will nonetheless be available to buy a equus caballus for ane,000 gold, merely it will non make a horse appear. Try reloading an old save, and it may fix the trouble. The horse in Riverwood may outset following the Dragonborn like an owned horse, instead of going dorsum to Riverwood similar it should. The former horse when information technology re-spawns in Markarth will not be stealing.  PC 360 PS3  Very rarely when dismounting a equus caballus, the horse flies a mile away, although neither the Dragonborn nor the horse gets hurt. This bug is very mutual on the PC version and an update has fixed this issues on every platform.  PC  A horse may slide a long way dorsum while rearing. This will normally put the horse near seven or eight strides behind where the horse originally reared, and happens most often in crude or hilly terrain.  360  Later on mounting the horse, the Dragonborn will float in the air in the sitting position while withal decision-making the horse, giving the impression of condign the horse existence ridden. The passenger will as well move and rock back and forth while floating in the air. The Dragonborn reappears when the horse is dismounted.  PC 360 PS3  If one rides a horse to the h2o it will offset to swim, but if dismounted and and so remounted, the equus caballus will start walking as if on solid ground and will be able to canter and gallop every bit long as information technology stays on the water. However, one time it leaves the water and re-enters, the procedure will accept to be repeated. This is very useful when travelling a long distance over water.  360 PS3  A horse might slide abroad from the Dragonborn when dismounting, regardless of terrain. It tin slide up mountain sides, only will float on air if the ground slopes below information technology. The photographic camera will also follow the horse until it stops sliding. The Dragonborn can also be attacked and killed while the equus caballus is moving, and will be unable to respond or perform any actions until the glitch stops.  360  Horses may briefly turn invisible when hit by an Ice Spike.  360  When fast travelling to the College of Winterhold on horseback, the horse normally appears at the kickoff of the path, in Winterhold. The horse may accompany the Dragonborn who arrives on horseback in the usual spot as if non on horseback. It is very dangerous, as the equus caballus, basically existence a rectangle of graphics, will clip above the walls of the walkway, causing it to run off of the path onto the rocks/water below along with the rider.  PC  Sometimes when mounting the horse, instead of sitting the Dragonborn appears as standing on the horse's dorsum. Occasionally this corrects itself every bit the Dragonborn walks around and then sits as normal.  PC There is a rare glitch that happens when the Dragonborn falls from a loftier place while mounted on a horse. The equus caballus volition not dice and will remain live until the Dragonborn dismount it. The Dragonborn can die also later on dismounting. If the Dragonborn is a vampire during the twenty-four hours, and out of stamina, the horse they ride will not be able to sprint. confirmation needed Having one or more points of stamina allows the equus caballus to sprint again. confirmation needed
