Drop an apple on its head (or any bit of fruit, bail of hay, etc).
>What are the orders in this case?
stay
fetch
follow
guard
attack (or kill)
stop (stops guarding and following)
release
You can use 'me' in conjuction with follow and guard (and maybe
'attack' - can't say as I've ever tried that one) so that you don't
have to select yourself. i.e.:
follow me
guard me

If you dbl-click the food, *you* will eat it.

Well, one piece of information that has been left out that I'll add. This,
of course, only applies to riding horses. Otherwise, the infor posted is
absolutely correct concerning tamed animals and beasts of burden.
You must not be mounted on the horse to feed it. When you are mounted, you
and the horse are considered one entity. You cannot feed it, talk to it,
give it orders or see it's health or happiness.
Dismount.
Say <horse's name> good (this helps increase loyalty)
Drag a piece of fruit, vegetable or stack of hay onto the horse.
Try using your Animal Lore skill on it. This will help your intelligence and
give you a much better idea of how happy the horse is.
When you log out, be sure to be mounted on the horse. Otherwise, you will
have to tame it again. If you're not in a house, your horse will be gone.
When you log in, you will automatically be dismounted. Use this to praise
the horse and feed it.
I used to think it was impossible to keep a horse. Now I've had one for
about 3 months.

Good luck.

I put my horse in the stables for the night. Somewhat of a pain,
since the stable is no where near my house. But Shade has a "no
horses allowed in the house" rule.
Although occasionally we bend the rule and keep them in the kitchen
while we go dungeon spelunking...

!?
Did it annoy you that I posted that? You seem a bit irritated.
Everyone posts something that is wrong every now and then. It's
*good* for other people to post corrections - and not at all an insult
to you, or me, or whomever is being corrected (exception being when
tha say, "No, you moron! blah-blah-blah" and so on, of course).
I don't see what I said that warranted this response from you...

You gave false info. He was trying to keep people from getting screwed
over your false info. :) Don't thing there was any maliciousness
involved.

The 'trick' is (as the above mentions), is to log out while sitting on
your horse.
That way you a) don't have to spend the 30 gp to stable b) don't take
up precious stable space needed for pack animals (can't sit on them)
and c) there's not stray animals wandering around the living room in
your absence (just gotta sneak 'ol glue' in and log out quickly while
Shade isn't looking ;)

actually, I gave the right info.. and then I added to it, that "I think" the
way to feed a packhorse, is to double click on the food, then to click on
the packhorse.. since I was wrong, I can understand how lot of people will
be screwed out of their bundle of hay :)
I just wanted to take the time to thank the gentleman that so kinda likes to
point out peoples mistakes.. I mean, dont want him to feel, unappreciated
:-P

I don't get any particular thrill out of pointing out other people's
mistakes. Sorry if I came off that way.

You didn't, Dundee. Yakuza seems overly sensitive here.

I'm abit curious about that. I've had over 30 bears in the stables of
Skara at one time - and all under the same stablemaster (there were
three others that I could have used). Where *are* the stables full
and why don't you folks moongate to Skara and stable your animals
there?
Or why aren't there more stablemasters in the other towns?!

If you take a pack horse through the moongates you stand a chance to
lose it. I've had them disappear after coming out of a moongate:(
>Or why aren't there more stablemasters in the other towns?!
That's my question too. If there was a stablemaster on Moonglow, I'd
use him instead of keeping my packhorse in my house.

I can only speak from my own experience here. My lil ol cottage is
not far S of Britain. My miner/smithy char 'has to' use the stable W
of Britian since a) leaving the horse in the cottage means I'll return
to a wild animal (and he doesn't have taming skills) and b) He has no
magic skills so he can't moongate anywhere and c) the stables are on
the way to the mountains where he mines anyway.
I often get 'My stables are full' message at this particular stable
likely because it's located at Britain. I feel sure there are stables
elsewhere that probably never fill up. I just can't conveniently get
to them and/or if I did go there, conversely it'd just be really
inconvenient getting back to my 'area of operation' later.
Thus, I just wanted to maybe help maybe ease the 'pressure' on
stablemasters in general by letting people know (if they didn't
already) you can log out and safely keep your riding horse if you do
so while sitting on it (e.g. you don't need to stable it).

>Or why aren't there more stablemasters in the other towns?!
Not sure (a question best left to the designers). Meaning I don't know
if it's simply an oversight (not thinking there would be that big a
demand for stables) or if it's a programming/database/performance
issue.

Moongate. South of Britain. No magery required. ;-)

Ah, very convenient.

I think I just hate that town.

Unless you live with someone that wants you to Act Right - no running
around nekkid, no horses in the house, no rat-meat for dinner, no
target practice on what are supposed to be pets (it's cruel)... all
sorts of rules, but I *for sure* can't ride the horse up into the
bedroom.
No biggie, though. The Skara stables are never full. We recall or
gate there, put up the horses, say goodnight to everyone at the bank,
and recall home. Sometimes we walk through the moongates instead (not
GATE spells, mind you, but moongates).
Funny, but there's another couple that frequent Skara and they're the
same way. HE would run around and act a fool if it weren't for HER
(his RL wife, of all people) insisting that he wear clothes and act
like a civilized human being.
Britain seems to have an overabundance of singles.
