Skyrim Horse Mods

This is a collection of horse-related mods for Skyrim. If you have the first release of Skyrim (aka Legendary Edition, or Oldrim), you will want to use the ones that are not marked with SE; those are for Skyrim: Special Edition. For installation instructions and compatibility with other mods, please refer to each mod's description page and/or readme file.

Convenient Horses | Convenient Horses SE The one-in-all horse handling mod. Includes summoning via whistle or war horn, horse inventory, following mechanic, saddles, armour, horses for followers, and tweakable stats. The exact mechanics differ a bit between Oldrim and SE, so be aware of that.

Craftable Saddles from Witcher 3 Skyrim Legendary Edition Only. Adds a variety of new saddles that can be crafted at a blacksmith's table, then applied to the player's horse through a spell.

Horse Sound Overhaul | Horse Sound Overhaul SE Adds more realism and variety to the horse vocalisations.

Horses Revamped Skyrim Legendary Edition Only. Gives the horses some better animations. Also offers an optional model replacer, for those who want lighter horses.

Improved Horse Step Sounds | Improved Horse Step Sounds SE Gives some much-needed realism to the horse footstep sounds. They will now differ noticeably depending on what terrain the horse is moving over.

Light Horses of Skyrim Skyrim Special Edition Only. If the draft types of vanilla Skyrim are not to your liking, this is a beautiful alternative.

Name Your Horse | Name Your Horse SE Do away with that Dragonborn's Horse nonsense and name your trusty steed something decent. Rename them whenever you want.

Oblivion Horses SE Skyrim Legendary Edition Only. Replaces the default Skyrim horses with a warmblood type, like in its predecessor The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Includes new tack like in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

Realistic and Balanced Horses Skyrim Special Edition Only. Gives horses a well-needed and realistic boost to speed and stamina. For those who want just a stat upgrade without the complexity of something like Convenient Horses.

Realistic Primitive Horse Breeds | Realistic Primitive Horse Breeds SE Beautiful HD textures for the horses, created by KrittaKitty. Includes a unique coat for the quest-related horse Frost.
