How Long Can a Horse Run (And How Far)? - Horsy Planet

As a rider, it’s important to know your horse’s limits. Having this knowledge would help you avoid overworking and injuring your horse. So: How long can a horse run? A horse can cover 2 to 2.5 miles in a gallop before it starts to fatigue. But on a trot, a healthy horse can cover 20 […]

In Game

Walk
Speed:Slower than Human
Endurance: Recovering Stamina
Time: Unlimited

Trot
Speed: Faster than Human
Endurance: No stamina recovery
Time: Unlimited

Canter
Speed: Faster than Trot
Endurance: Stamina drain related to riding skill
Time: 2 minutes 30 seconds

Gallop
Speed: Faster than Canter
Endurance: Heavy stamina drain. Can only execute twice from 1000 stamina

Disregarding how horse armor parts will change stamina and mount speed the current configuration does not reflect real world speeds and endurance. I recommend increasing both stamina pool, endurance, and horse speed to better mirror real life.

I can't tell if your trolling me or not, but I don't see why this would be bad thing so long as the player can do something about it. With the current system the HP of a character acts like this until healed. I know SV intends to add various injuries like cuts, fractures, and burns. It would be pretty cool to extend this to other creatures besides the player.

Yes I am. It doesn't change that mount functionality is terrible. Both you and I have no idea how mounts are going to work in the future. Why not give them feedback on something that already exsist so that when the game releases we have a system that we enjoy.

I would expect that they will work much like they did in Mo 1
