Are horses really worth it ?

[Citizen_1245]

Are they actually faster than sprinting ? It doesn't seem like it to me but maybe I'm wrong

Well, if you have AE the Dwemer Horse can sprint forever, it has infinite stamina, and it's also invulnerable to any form of damage.

The only hiccup is that the Dwemer Horse stays wherever you left it, so you need to use a mod to summon the Horse (NFF has such a functionality; Horse Whistle mod is nice and simple; other bigger mods like Convenient Horses can make the horses more useful and inteligent).

@R4andomG4mer mentioned in another thread:

According to uesp, the dwarven horse always stays at the last location you left it, unless you own Hendraheim, in which case the dwarven horse spawns there.

Your best bet is to retrace your steps and return to the place(s) you were before the wild horses quest.

Convenient Horses mod has a feature to make horses as Essential. There are a few mods that do this too. Useful, if we don't want to see the dear horse dead, after it foolishly tried to kick at a dragon spewing fire.
