Lots of nice little details like the horses scratching their noses and pawing the ground.

My horse can die, in combat or from falling off a cliff, what ever, but I can't seem to heal it

The world is so gorgeously rendered I rarely Fast-Travel, preferring to ride my horse to gawk at the landscape and various creatures inhabiting it, and casually discover new map locations for further exploration

Some folks don't mind replacing their horses when monsters kill them.

My arse hurts!-Travel to NEW destinations is way too slow, horses can't really run and are always killed fairly quickly and easily.-Skills upgrade menu is confusing

Not to mention the horse is slow too

My horse died one day running on a trail which happened to have a rock in the trail that had fallen from a previous bobby-trap

But I would rather just have my horse just beaten senseless instead of dying, so they could recover later should I also survive.

That really sucks when monsters are chasing you and the horse can't even outrun them

So I had to go to jail because of a glitch, however afterwards the horse was just fine and no problems after that.

While the horses and wildlife have a disregard for their own lives, it isn't hard to make this mechanic work for you when fighting Dragons.

My horse killed a dragon

; I enjoy just riding my horse and looking around too, helping people out with their issues, and so on

I like that I can have a horse and that it will fight for me or with me, but only, it seems, when I dismount, which doesn't seem accurate to me at all
