| Wild horses, mules or donkeys that roam the country side would be cool. The equestrians would be tamable and at the highest level they could be ridden. The rider would be transported a speeds 2 or 3 steps faster than the charm of swiftness. As long as you are riding you can carry more weight. You would have to get off it to fight. |

The getting off it to fight specifier is the only thing which I think is different in this idea; oh, and equestrians are riders: equus is the horse. |

| At a high level of taming and woodcrafting you can make a cart that the EQUUS (for those of you who are English teachers and biologists on your day jobs) can pull and it will act as a traveling chest. |

If a high taming level is needed to ride a horse, only druids will be able to have them. Riding as a skill would make more sense. And of course falling off will hurt!

| You would need a high taming level get the EQUUS to pull he cart. Riding it would be a lower level. |

| If by a lower level you mean 1... Or 0. Then yes, everyone will be able to ride a horsey then. |

If I remember correctly, this subject has been tossed around for years and never happened. Probably won't.
But if it did happen, it should be a skill like the others that starts at 1 and levels up with successes. At lower levels sometimes you fall off (or get bucked off) and the horse returns to the stable, or the horse doesn't go where you want, spooks when you encounter a creature and runs away with you, etc.
On the other hand, a mule and a cart (or even a wheelbarrow) would be real handy for mining/lumberjacking sometimes. |

| I meant level 5, but the starting at 1 and the animal bucking is a great idea. |

| Also, it seems the easiest way to do this is to give characters the ability to ride tuskers. It's an animal that takes a high level to tame, and is large enough to ride and to pull a cart. |

| It is a trade off. You have an animal pull your items. An enormous amount of logs or ferrite, armor, giant hearts. You get to have your tusker transport you and you cache of black market poison weapons to Marali from Andrus. |

Yes and don't forget the cacheT of doing so, Gelito. I recall for example just at this past Blue Moon Festival the (drunk) Trader having apparently-hallucinated Brigands attacking his perfectly-ordinary Tusker train. And guess what the Tuskers had on each? Yeah, the usual Tusker loot; but also 1 Special item, each!
If you Really look at "cars" in the Real World, the unsustainable fossil-fuel -driven (a.k.a. Dino blood and /or Fern sap, really) "economy," a distant-descendent of the horse "carr"iage, and not in any sense of the word, "auto," at least not when it comes to repairs Or insurance; it is all Very slow. Indeed: probably going-back to the actually-sustainable, yes, almost-Medieval (one might point out here in a perhaps "Fantasy" context) high-falutin' horse carriages of the relative-nobility, without stable hands paid often slave-labor wages (see: not-paid), the whole system(s) would come crashing down.
All Very slow; then look at "Hordes," crossing the cold mainly-Northern grasslands, drinking the blood of their horses.. or at least consuming them to save-energy, and keep folk alive, and it may be sustainable, but "get a horse," even, is Not easy. Indeed, even an elephant in combat would in fact be just like a giant "pack mule," unless being ridden-by very aggressive human(s), so really: "results may vary. Contact a /your doctor.." |

Skate... Rafts
Who needs a horse when you can just mount wheels on your raft and skitter down the road faster than you could ever run? |

| Skate raft is funny. Unless I misunderstood, I don't think you can kill someones pet. And the added bonus is that if you are starving, you can kill your tusker and eat the steaks. I'd love to see a caravan of Oberianians riding a tusker caravan across the zombie cost and then attacked by plundering looting jesters. |
