    Not so sure the use of "Riding" in the description for horses is a good idea, just horses might be better.
    The ability to "ride" an animal has been a hope for many years, and at one time was hinted at coming in Ep2.
    Just sayin'...
    Oh, and feel free to delete this post either way.

    It was referring to the Riding Outfits and saddlebags, but I added "outfits" to be more clear -- thanks :) Chris has thought of a way to give us mounts hopefully by Q3 or Q4 according to the vision post.

    To do a just in case sanity check. When that Q3 or Q4 date for getting mounts arrives, will there be a data migration to convert the store bought foals to full horses as was originally mentioned in their description?

    Mentioning it now just in case.

    A neat idea for sure to add into the mix when Chris gets to that point -- many thanks for the input! :)
