I remembered I had a Horse that I won at a player-run raffle years ago, so I pulled it out of the stable for the first time in roughly forever and went and learned all the things I'd earned since the last time I used it, and just for giggles tried mounted combat. Every time I got attacked I saw stuff like this:

A musk hog hisses viciously and lunges at you!

Thank you to whoever is ninja fixing it. :)

Throwing a weapon now makes it leave your hand.

Outgoing and incoming attack messaging is correct.

I did notice in my testing that you can no longer be thrown off due to having really bad balance now though. Intentional?

>>I want to dig into horses more

Can't wait for this.

Great! I'm so, so excited! I'm hoping barding forging templates are on the way too for us someday... *fingers crossed*
