What do Altmer use as mounts lore wise?

So I just bought a Guar for my Dunmer and Argonian characters. I have a white and black horse for my human characters in DC. Now I'm looking for a mount for a Altmer and Khajit. Would the senche lioness fit an Altmer and Khajit?

    Horses.

    And Khajiit, senche.
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    Lore wise I don't think races have specific mounts... expect for Khajiit and Senches. Not the Senche Cats that we all ride, a Senche wouldn't allow anyone but another Khajiit ride them... and they look sort of like...
    HAYSGtt.jpg?1

    I did suggest a while back (over a year ago now) that ZOS give riding bonuses for players who "match" their race with a specific mount... original post here: http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/153031/mount-specific-racial-riding-bonuses-concept/p1
    Gidorick wrote: »
    There has been a few discussions about race specific mounts in ESO. With the new direction of ESO, having race specific mounts wouldn’t make a lot of sense. However, for RP and immersion purposes, having race specific mounts is quite the boon. There is, however, a middle ground.

    Mount Specific Racial Riding Bonuses

    Core Concept
    ZOS should consider giving bonuses to players who ride their Race Specific Mount. These bonuses should be placed on top of whatever their current skills are.
    • 10% Speed Bonus
    • 20% Stamina Bonus
    These bonuses do not mean that other races shouldn’t be able to ride these mounts, they just won’t receive the racial riding bonus. This system will allow all players to ride all mounts but will give players incentives to not only create alternate characters but to use their Race Specific Mount.

    Now let's have some fun!
    Below are some suggestions for what NEW mount could be added for each race. Each Mount could be purchased in the Crown Store in various styles, just as the horses and Senche cats will soon be.

    fUZ9irm.jpg?1
    anyrpOZ.jpg?1
    uOkZBHh.jpg?1

    Thoughts?

    I still think this would be a great idea to introduce at some point. They obviously don't need to use these specific combinations, but the core concept is sound.

    And you'll notice... Elk for Altmer. :wink:

    Its my understanding that they were the ones to originally tame and domesticate Horses. Which makes sense that humans would adopt these animals as their mounts being that they were once the slaves of the Mer.

    Though I wont be surprised if we ever see some sort of elk like creature introduced. I know the Direwolf is coming and itll be interesting to find out how they explain that mounts purpose.
