Oblivion Horses, more info please Options

[Faldwin]

I know that horses are in Oblivion but is there any to other
information regarding them. Like if there is a new equestrian skill. Do the horses throw you off if the skill isn't high enough. Will they buck you if you steal them from someone. Will they require any care or lodging? Will NPCs treat you differently if you're riding to horse. Can horses step on small creatures to kill them? I realize this is to long list of questions, but Íve always wanted to
horse in MW under I want to know if they're good in Oblivion.

From the interviews, I got the idea that you would have to stable your horse while you were in town, but that might be optional. Since there is no mounted combat, I'm also assuming that the horses won't be able to kill anything, even by stepping on it. I suspect you won't be required to do too much "taking care of" the horses; that might get a little nit-picky and repetitive (something Bethesda seems to try to avoid). Anyway, that's my opinion on horses.

If it is possible to stable your horse at cities then it most have some benefit. Possibly your horse would have a disposition like NPCs and will obey you more with a higher disposition. So leaving it in a stable would make it happier so therefore more likely to obey you. What do you think?
