Ok, how do I undo feeding my horse?

I just logged on to feed my horses. I have 2 horses. One I use for speed, one for capacity for when I go farming/mining/whatever.
For whatever reason, it showed the wrong name at the top - I fed my capacity horse first and then went to switch to my speed horse. Well, my speed horse was already fed a capacity buff. Arg!!! I've been feeding her speed for 50 days or more now, she's at 65%, level 50.
Is there an undo function somewhere?
If otherwise, there needs to be one!
EDIT: it turns out when you max your horse, it gets a skill point in the other abilities too. So, I didn't make an error. However, I'm sure some people will. And, if they're perfectionists like me, they will just be annoyed that they wasted all that time. Thus, we need a horse respec ability.
It could be as simple as feeding your horse the right stuff until it goes back to the way you wanted. Like, if you fed it oats you'd have to feed it apples a bit to undo that, etc.

✭I haven't found any way to remove a single wrong feeding yet so I'm gonna say there probably isn't a way. I fed my mule Horse speed the first day back in early release before I realized you get to feed it every day and have multiple horses lol.0 -

Yes, it's "ridiculously stupid" that they don't let you unfeed a horse. Because we all know that in real life, you just whisper in its ear about how pretty it looked before it got fat, and the horse just throws that food right back up.
You had three buttons to click. Three. You clicked one without thinking about it. Now you're blaming the designers for that?----

Clearly you can't read. The horse I fed was the pack horse, not the speed horse. After I clicked "oats" I went to feed the speed horse and found out it was fed already. Some kind of annoying bug happened.
So, no, person who jumps to attack, I didn't go through 3 clicks and feed the wrong horse. Some bug screwed over my horse and I want a reset.War, give me war, give me war.1 -
Adramelach✭✭✭Good thing the rest of the game sticks as close to real life as possible, though the spells I actually use on a day-to-day basis to defeat demons and necromancers in my neighborhood aren't exactly the same as my sorcerer in ESO, but close enough that I can overlook that particular unrealistic detail.Edited by Adramelach on June 17, 2014 1:46PM21 -

I love when this argument comes up, because it's always ridiculous.
Yes, there is magic in the Elder Scrolls universe. Well spotted. And yes, it's a fantasy world. However, the series has always maintained a more realistic feel/aesthetic compared to other fantasy games. The world of Tamriel has a ruleset that happens to include the regular use of magic. It has not, to date, included a spell to "unfeed" something or someone.----

Then if it was a bug and not just user error, submit a report. Maybe CS can do something about it. That's not justification for adding a completely ludicrous feature to the game.----

isengrimb16_ESO✭✭✭✭✭Maybe submit a bug report, and ask nicely to roll you or your horse back, if they can?
I'm not sure if they do that for that kind of stuff, but they did roll me back when my husband killed me during the lvl 3 harbourage quest, and I got stuck not being able to hand it in.
I wish you good luck, and a programmer in a good mood.

The notion of permanently increasing horse speed by feeding them a bucket of apples is likewise ridiculous. You can't appeal to realism when there is none to start with.

ESO isn't a simulator. Fun trumps realism. There's nothing even remotely realistic about any sort of respeccing (or the current system of horse feeding, for that matter), but it's already in the game for the player's convenience. Might as well include horses, I see no harm in it and it would help us deal with mistakes like the OP's.
You're free to disagree, but remember that you're not the only person playing the game. If you don't like respeccing, just don't do it, it's your choice. Do you have to prevent everybody else from doing it too?Edited by Rosveen on June 17, 2014 1:56PM8 -

Oh come on. Don't use the real world argument on this subject. Last time I checked, you don't feed an animal a specific food to let it hold more stuff. This is a game. OP is experiencing an issue and made a suggestion. The game is very forgiving with life time choices allowing players to respec. Horses are big time investments. It's not a stupid request to ask for an option to respec your mounts. Or at the very least, have the option to sell it without taking as much as a loss as you currently do.11 -

✭Yell at the stable masters for not double checking with you if you where sure about what horse was to be fed what.
Not option to make your horse throw up, its between you and the stable masters be careful!3 -
NobleX35✭✭✭✭Maybe an idea to fix this issue is to "feed" the horse everyday and upon feeding it, you gain a trait point with which to decide to spend on speed, stamina, and capacity. Then they could add a respec function that wouldnt really be based around making the horse bulimic. Rather than choosing between 3 types of food and being stuck with that choice, this would allow players to respec their horses without it being immersion breaking.Edited by NobleX35 on June 17, 2014 2:13PM"Only the dead have seen the end of war."5 -

Handy that you can "unlearn" your entire career and re-train yourself in one shot, though. I'm not sure how much of a realistic feel/aesthetic that has, either.
I agree with other posters, and I've posted my own thoughts in line with this as well. This is a game, about having fun, not a "life simulation" designed to allow me to enjoy frustrations and setbacks as I might in real life. The things players should be able to do, I feel, should have as their overriding goal pareto optimality. That is, that they allow the greatest amount of fun to the most players, without degrading the experience of any.
As I can't think of much reason why being able to "respec" your horse would bring about angst and disappointment to anyone, but would improve the lot of many players (including myself, who also didn't understand the feeding mechanism when I first started, and wouldn't mind reallocating a few "feedings"), it seems to me to be a "no brainer" that such a thing be implemented at some point.7 -

Also, there are things so ridiculously stupid that they are not even believable in a fantasy universe.
Unfeeding horses is one of them.

If your horse is at level 50 it's max level. Was it a basic horse (ie. the 17K one, or the Imperial one, or the Palomino)? If so there's no way it was ever going to get above 65% speed anyway. If you see that it's got 1 point of buffing in stamina and capacity, that's because at one of the levels (it might even be 50th - if not it's very close to 50th) you actually get a buff in the categories that you didn't pick in addition to the buff in the category that you did pick.I just logged on to feed my horses. I have 2 horses. One I use for speed, one for capacity for when I go farming/mining/whatever.
For whatever reason, it showed the wrong name at the top - I fed my capacity horse first and then went to switch to my speed horse. Well, my speed horse was already fed a capacity buff. Arg!!! I've been feeding her speed for 50 days or more now, she's at 65%, level 50.

Is there an undo function somewhere?
If otherwise, there needs to be one!
Well where to start (I've been feeding her speed for 50 days or more now, she's at 65%, level 50.)
ONE you cant feed your horse for more then 50 days actually 49days is the max if you feed it every day considering you can only feed it once every 20hrs so actually in the 49 times you feed your horse if you stayed on top of it and feed the horse every time exactly when the timer ended there would be several days where you actually would end up feeding your horse twice in the single day
TWO lvl 50 horse is max lvl for a horse considering you can not feed your horse 50 times because your horse starts out at lvl 1 and max lvl is 50 so 50-1=49
THREE 65% speed sounds about right if you feed the horse apples 49 times however there is a know issue where on the 48th or 49th feed your horse actually gets extra points in to each stat so im guessing your horse looks some thing like 65%speed 11%stam 1% capacity and im guessing your horse is ether the standard horse, imperial horse, or the palomino I only guess this cause you said your horse was lvl 50 with 65% speed so it had to have started out with 15% speed so its one of the basic horses
AND FOUR max speed horse is IMHO a fail horse since any thing and every thing can pretty much one shot you right off it don't go in to pvp with thoes horses get your self a nice even split I like the 45speed 31stam 1capacity myself is a good all around questing/pvp horse build gives enough speed that your still fast and you got enough stam that it take several hits to dismount you giving you that much more time to get away from a ambush plus the 45/31/1 horse gets two graphic changes and looks pretty kewl

Hamfast✭✭✭✭✭having spent the 112 gold to get three horses, (110 for the stable spaces, 1 for each imperial mount)... Renaming them "Pack mule" and "Speedy" I have also been carefully feeding my mounts... except for the 1 time I clicked the wrong button... Speedy got 1 pack space... if I could respec Speedy, my guess is it would cost me more then speedy is really worth... I could sell Speedy back as a real loser of a mount that is so much slower due to that 1 pack space and start another Mount (Name it Rocket this time?) or I can laugh it off and let Speedy have the one extra space and be all that much slower...
At this point, Speedy should be a fat and lazy mount, having never left the stable, face it, I need the pack space more then the speed 99 times out of 100... and for that 100th time, it's normally already too late to go back and switch.Of all the things I have lost, I miss my mind the most...0
