how do i get on my horse?

[squallff99]

i just bought a horse and right clicked it in my inv and it went away. how do i call it out?

It should now be equipped; look at the bottom tab of your character page.

To use it, I just drag it down to the quick bar, then click that new icon. I assume there is a way to activate it from that page, but I doubt it is as fast.

You also have to be at least level 10.

Since end of Beta 5 you now have to be 10 to buy a horse.

is there many differnet types of horses and do they, have different bonuses ?

[Ceyllynn]

i have only seen 4 types...

3 you can buy at level 10 and above, cheapest being 12silver 50 copper and 30 % speed increase.. i'm not sure how much the other two improve you speed.

4 is a horse you can get through diplomatic questing for free, it's got a 25% speed increase and is a little different in appearance than the others (it is also a quarter horse)

all horses are set to your race, thestra varan get heavy (like clydesdales) types down to arab looking one for the lighter races.

to improve you horse you need to buy horse shooes, tack and barding.. they speed up the horse as well as help prevent you from being knocked off.

colours seem to vary... and also seem to be racial in some ways.

I bought a horse on day 1 of the pre-release, but I'm not level 10, so I can't use it.

They should limit the level, but apparently they haven't yet (unless this has since been updated).

I believe you found a bug then. If you mouse over the horse in the horse vendor window it now states at the bottom that you must be lvl 10. Unless they are making it just lvl 10 to ride and not to buy, but that seems silly.

I believe everything's working as intended for horses. You can buy and equip them whenever you want, but trying to mount up will fail if you're not at the intended level.
