Horse cosmetics

I am just wondering why I have saddle bags on my fast horse? It looks kinda stupid. No one needs to explain how the new horse system works, I understand that, I just don't understand why the cosmetics have to be added. How my character looks is very important to me and this is something I purposely avoided for the horse I take into Cyrodill. It means enough to me that I won't play the character until it gets fixed, I'll just make another Templar.

ZOS, please make the horse cosmetics like helms, where we can chose whether or not we show them.

    They could also sell horse armour then. :innocent:

    Sadly I can't be very helpful in regards to the topic as it's directed at ZOS themselves, I agree though that customizable cosmetics for mounts could be fun.

    Hey there @esob14_ESO24,

    With the introduction of the new riding skill system, you will gain the cosmetics of each stat when you reach the appropriate level. We're looking into making cosmetics a toggle, but for now they're based on your current stats.

    "Horse Cosmetics" Like lipstick?

    Seriously though, if you understand how the horse system works, you understand there is no option to disable this. It's as much a visual for other players (enemy players primarily) as it is for you. (Bag horse won't catch speed horse - don't bother, for instance)
    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

    Here's to hoping for horse costumes in the crown store!

    That's interesting, because I noticed on my main (who had one horse leveled to 50 in speed, one horse leveled to 50 in bag space, and one horse leveled to 42 in stamina) my horse displays the horse armour that you get from stamina, and the straps that you get from speed, but not the saddle bags that you get from bag space.

    Not that I actually care - the only one of those 3 elements that I particularly care about seeing is the horse armour, and I'm getting that cosmetic element anyway. It seemed odd to me, though, that I only got 2 of the 3 cosmetic elements.
