*horses name* Come - (makes horse come to you
*horses name* Stay - Makes the horse stay in one place

Hope this helps...

Drag an apple onto him. Or drag pears, or hay.

You can feed your horse any of the following:
hay
pears
apples

You can purchase them at the Provisioner's or possibly the stables. To
feed, click on the food and drag it on top of your horse (like you were
dragging something into your backpack). Your horse should lower his head
and the message "Your pet looks happier" should appear.

Commands:
<horse name> follow me - gets the horse to follow you
<horse name> come - gets the horse to come to you from a distance
<horse name> stop - gets the horse to stop what he's doing and wait
<horse name> release - releases the horse and turns him wild (not good :) )

If it's a riding horse, I think you need to dismount before feeding. If
it's a pack horse, make sure when you feed him to drag the food onto his
neck/shoulder area so the food doesn't just transfer into his pack.

Good luck!

Doubleclick on yourself to dismount, then drag
some food on your horse as if you were giving
it to it.

Ok, we all know how to feed the horse now, now I
have another question for ya...........
How much and how often do you need to feed it to
keep it happy?

Another very helpful command for horses is "*horse's name* friend", then
click on a trusted friend of yours, or several if applicable <G>. Whenever
you die & those friends are close by, they can then ride your horse or get
it to follow them back to safety. It still works when a horse untames itself
& gets retamed & handed back to you, it seems to remember who you declared
as "friends".

Happy riding,

You serious? That's awesome. Never heard of this command. Does it work
with pack horses too, or for that matter, ANY tamed animal?

Once an hour usually does it. If you bought a little
animal lore and checked its happiness every now and then, it'd be
even better.

According to the official guide it takes 55 pieces of fruit to fill a
horse, so I would guess you'd need to feed it pretty frequently.

As I lost my horses within a few days of buying them due to the
unannounces stable wipe I can't speak from practical experience.

Okay, mistake number one is believing that anything in the official
guide has anything whatever to do with Ultima Online.

One apple (or one of anything else they will eat) makes a horse
"Wonderfully Happy" and their happiness atrophies at the same rate
whether you feed them one apple or twenty bails of hay.

Just drop an apple on your horse every now and then (every couple of
real-time hours) and PUT IT IN THE STABLES when you logoff.

Unless you can tame horses, in which case you can logoff on it. It
may go wild when you log back in before you can feed it though.

I don't want to waste stats on animal lore so i don't really know how
my horse is. Last night it tossed me off :) Luckily a tamer was right
there & retamed it for me. I was feeding it an apple every hour, the
horse has been fine at this rate for weeks now, but being the
forgetful person i am i guess i forgot to feed it. So now i'm giving
it an apple at least every 30 mins just to make sure.

Hehe yes as a former antiPK who had many selves killed over his horse & the
same for my guildmates I can tell you it works :-)
Never tried that with pack animals though I'd suspect it uses the same
logic.
Time to ooOOooo this out I guess ;-)

Every half hour is a good policy, because though you can go a couple of hours,
you never know when a time warp or other UO problem is going to result in you
finding that you didn't feed the horse even if you did. Better spend too much
on apples than to suddenly get bucked off in the middle of a fight with two
liches.

hmm, I feed mine one hay every 1 to 2 hours. that seems to work fine,
only time i was thrown was alooong time ago when pks prevented me
frome feeding for hours. As far as logging off, as long as I
remember, as long as you are ON YOUR HORSE, you can log off, and he
doesn't go wild. 'course I haven't played all week, if things have
changed, I apologize.

I hate to say this, but the stable wipe was announced, allbeit on the
owo.com. My friend and I saw that and quickly bought a boat to
keep our horses on until the wipe. It wasn't broadcasted anywhere
else that I know of, but owo.com did say something about it.

There was a an un-announced NPC wipe - which included all of the
stablemasters and therefore any stabled pets - a week or so after that
stable wipe.

Auctually, they didn't -mean- to wipe the Stablemasters. They were wiping
some of the other NPCs, such as healers, guards, town cryers, most vendors,
etc.. I forget why, but I think it had something to do with the fact that
Elvis is still missing and NPCs no longer have backpacks (There MUST be a
connection.)
