I'm confused, is there a limit on horse feeding? :S

Yes... every time you feed it levels and it can be max lvl 50

I kinda suspected

well, if you want a well rounded horse, it will be a jack of all trades and a master of none, that's how it should be , if you want a sprinter, then put it all into sprint, if you want a long distance runner put it into stamina, if you want a pack mule, put it into carrying capacity....

You don't get it.

That guy just want to be able to combine ALL horse's visual upgrades in one.
Right now you are able to have two of them.

Oh dear. uhmm.. errr.. Damn .

thanx for the info, just wish you said that 20hours ago

I'm sure they'll raise it along with the level cap when they add more veteran levels.

I don't think so because that would mean we should be able to feed them 59 times already (50 levels + 10 veteran levels - 1 since the first feed is when you turn lvl 2).

And thanks EISlayer for making clear what I meant.

At the present moment, Stamina is the least important stat on a horse. Once you start sprinting and you keep holding Shift, the horse will continue to sprint even without any Stamina left. I can only guess that's a bug, because this makes Stamina utterly useless for the horse atm.

Ssshhh or the devs will hear you and fix it

I don't think it will make a huge difference when you look at min/maxing, but it does make you able to make an all-round horse in regards to looks by feeding it 20 times in each stat for the appearance change.

Specialized horses can still be recognized by the fact they have just one added item. This way the specialized horses get a small boost and others can decide to go for a horse that has the most complete look.

While i understand why you want it that way, i have a bit diffrent though about this matter.

First of all - current horse menagement and looks should be SCRAPED and something better should be introduced. Something with modular, choosable setup - so players will be able to customize their horses. This should also include horse "skin/color".
If i want "Light horse" (+10 speed) that is white (color reserved for IE buyers), then i should be able to get that, not be forced to buy horse in most silly color ever.


BUT
Both imperial horses(Imperial Edition) and Palomino horse (cash store) should be able to level to highest avaible horse stats.
Seriously Zenimax -make it happend, before a LOT of folks get pissed, when they discover that Impeial horse are uselless at high level
I can live with a fact that they have stats of "Common horse" at the beggining- but we shouldnt be forced to swap our PAID horses to other ones, only becouse they have better stats.

This also promote your long lasting fans -cos we need addditional days of subs to fully level horses.

So all "basic/purchasable in game" horses should be maxed at 51 level (it also need to be changed -this or fresh horse should start at level 0, not round 49 number of upgrades is silly)

Imperial/Palomino -should be maxed at 61 right now (and this should be improved EVERY time when devs introduce higher tier horses)

Stamina matters in Cyrodiil. I see people who have fast running horses get knocked off their horse in one zap because their horse doesn't have any stamina after sprinting. I've survived a couple of blasts on my black horse that knocks others off onto the ground. I can also ignore most mobs when running across maps instead of getting hassled by mudcrabs.

As far as I know it is not a bug, but intended. Stamina makes it harder to get kicked off your horse by an attack, having a horse with high stamina makes it sprint longer without the loss of the benefit. When your stamina is empty and you keep sprinting the slightest attack kicks you off your horse and lands you dazed and confused on the ground long enough to be killed if unlucky.

You're correct that stamina is still useful (for that reason I always limit my sprinting when running through areas where I expect to encounter enemies), but I think that the continued sprinting after stamina is used up is still a bug. I hope I'm wrong.

I'm just repeating what others have said but supposedly they stated in beta that it was intended and not a bug. You do go faster when you first start sprinting. So more stamina means more speed bursts.

i didnt know that, so thanks for the tip and yes, Im upgrading for the looks mainly

What about it's personality? Shallow, shallow people........ XD

Damn. I didn't even think about the level cap. I'd planned on getting all 3 visual upgrades for my horse. I currently have the straps from the speed boost and I'm almost high enough for the saddle bags from inventory increase. I guess I'm gonna have to do without the armor from stamina.

I'm waiting until I can ride around on a giant rabbit, will be fun having my Khajiit or Argonian on the back of a Giant Grey Rabbit (no objection to other colours)

Wait, what? No. Just no. It was explicitly stated before they took anyone's money that these horses would be exactly the same in game terms as the standard horse. Anyone who bought them and who read their descriptions should know that and not be surprised by that fact. Speaking as someone who went with the Imperial edition, I was well aware of that fact, and I'm perfectly fine with it. It just means that I got a horse while saving for a nicer one (and I've been upgrading my Imperial horse as a pack horse, while my speed horse gets all speed upgrades), and each of my toons gets to have a horse without having to save for 8 different horses.

Really? Didn't know that they had said that in beta. Good to hear!
