this has to be a joke right?

This particular mount aside, the horse models in this game are just plain wrong and sad.

Horses are such beautiful, graceful creatures. I don't understand how it was possible to mess them up so badly in such a graphically beautiful game.

I have seen much older games do them real justice where they look like actual horses. There is no excuse for what they look like in this game. It's just horrible.

And it doesn't end at what they look like. Even the way they move is disgraceful.

As much as I love horses, I can't bring myself to use them in this game. It feels like riding a bulky, clunky, misshapen rocking "horse."

They looked better in Skyrim, so I'm not sure why they didn't just copy and paste that model:

Heck, even the horses in Oblivion had better legs:

This is Garlas Malatar, btw:

Makes me wonder whether he fit through those arches with that thing.

Obviously, he tried jumping over the first arch, didn't quite make it, landed going through the second one, and stopped before the third, walking the rest of the way (or crawling, still not sure about how many limbs he had left) to preserve at least something of his intended destination. Unfortunately, once he was there, the steed rematerialized beside him, and the rest of the place was done for.

I was thinking it was some sweetroll guard, but, I can also see it as an unruly ground cover abatement system.
