Horses used to be a mixed blessing in Skyrim. You could cover great distances in a much shorter period of time You could only run away from battles, and had to dismount if you wanted to fight. But now there's no need for that. Bethesda is adding mounted combat, and all for a great price. It's free!
Swing an axe into a falmer's head or shoot a dragon in the knee with arrows while you chase him across the landscape. See for youself below!
This addition will be making its way to PS3, PC, and XBox360 soon...
