ok i am sick of waiting for my imperial horse i shouldve had on release so im just guna buy a horse. my question is
If i buy a horse will it be on all my characters?
whats the diff in the 42 k horse and the 10 k i cant find pics of them anywhere or anything?
that is all any help much appreciated

Horses are account-wide. The only difference between them is cometic, so if you don't care about color then just buy the cheapest one.

Um, for the imperial horse have you checked your collection? With all horses you have to select them in your collection for that horse to become active and usable on that character. I imagine you're on a console, so I don't know what button you hit to open the collection screen...

As @Rosveen said, nowadays all horses are simply skins, their original stats (which is why there were price differences) are now character stats.

You can preview horses where you buy them. So either at the stable or in the crownstore.

All horses are exactly the same except the appearances. So more expensive ones, are "just" better looking (according to ZoS who decided they are worth more).

they are also accountwide unlocks. So you can use your horse one any character.

Small note: there is a thing called riding skills. you can train them by talking to the stable buy (for a modest fee). Each trainign has a 20 hour cooldown. These skills are tied to the rider and soulbound, and have nothing to do with the actual horse. Riding skills can mean a horse goes 60% or gives the character 60 more character slots, or makes the rider fall off less quickly when under attack.

So a few examples. Let's say you got 2 characters and three mounts (black mount, white mount, yellow mount.
Both characters have access to all three mounts.
Character one has trained himself to ride 20% faster. He does so on all three mounts.
character two has trained himself to have 20 more bagslots. He has them with all three mounts

OK, if you've got a bug and the imperial horse isn't showing up in your collection, then keep in mind that it's possible the same bug may keep a horse purchased at a stable from showing up in your collection. My guess is that you'll be fine, as it seems more like it's a crown store bug than specifically a collection bug, but there's still a chance that buying a horse from a stable won't help.
