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.

Stables are located outside cities and you have to put them there because you can't enter a city on your horse.

great, more invisible walls or a voice saying "you cant enter here on horseback."

why cant you enter a city on horseback? since there is no mounted combat why would it matter?

personally i feel that horses are a pointesls addition to this game. i'm not one of those guys that says "oblivion suxorz cuz u cant fight on a horse" but i am saying that it is pointless to have horse if you cant ride headlong into a group of dremora and knock them all down. No, instead you ride headlong into a group of dremora, jump off your horse and attempt to fight them.

I think that horseback combat could have easily been balanced into the game.

I wouldn't be too sure about that. I think that's also something Todd mentioned, it's rather difficult to integrate horseback fighting because all of a sudden there wouldn't be any point in walking around and fighting enemies without a horse
