It's awful to see your pets, especially mounts, forced to stand there, with their saddles on and everything, it would be nice if they had an interactable option that they would rest/sit down and the gear would be removed. Our pets should be comfortable in their own homes

    This is virtual, not real life. I'm sure the mounts and pets are fine as they are.

    I'm a horse lover and have owned two horses, and yes all that matters in real life. But I can't see @ZO$ wasting resources to keep virtual horses comfortable, when there are so many other more important things to address. ;)

    They probably wouldn't, but the stiffness of pet and mount animations in Homestead has been a complaint since launch. Some of the pets are okay--cats, wolf pups, and tiger cubs will all cycle through animations where they're sitting or prone--but a lot of the older pets don't have those, and will just stand there, maybe moving their head back and forth in a very slow, predictable rhythm. It lands pretty squarely in the Uncanny Valley.

    This is an interesting solution I haven't seen before.
    Living vicariously through my characters.

    My Girls:
    "If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"

    Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
    Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
    Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
    Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
    Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
    Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
    Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
    Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
    Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
    Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
    Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
    Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
    Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
    Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
    Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
    Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
    Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"
