The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remasteredfeatures a massive world that would take hours to cross on foot if not for the aid of the game’s most useful asset: horses. When the roads of the Empire grow too wearying and lonely, you may always rely on the Hero of Kvatch’s most trustworthy companion.
With new skins and faster speeds, the horses of Oblivion are looking more dapper and useful than ever. However, before you go scouring Tamriel and spending your gold, you’ll want to know which partner is your perfect match. Unless you’re me. In which case, you’ll want this guide to plan the exact amount of gold to save so you can buy them all.
All Horse Types And Locations
Horses can be found in many places across the Empire.Most horses can be found in stables, and each stable has its horse specialty.
Not all horses count as being owned by the player, meaning they will not be registered as an owned horse, nor will they follow the player when traveling.Stolen horses will never be counted as owned horses.
