There's been a fairly major change in the way horses work:

• * Warhorses and shadow stallions now have to be bought or issued from stables. If you try to ride someone else's warhorse or shadow stallion, it will not let you on.
  * To issue a horse, go to your nearest stables and "say issue horse". Only clanned characters will be able to do this, others must buy them.
  * Warhorses have had their moves and survivability significantly buffed. Shadow stallions are also more survivable.
  * Other horses have had their moves decreased. Loads will also be changed as needed over the coming days.
  * A few new commands have been added to horses:
  • - Whistle - if you have Ride to level 5 or higher, you can "whistle" and your horse will run to your current room. This will only work on issued horses.
    - Summon - Fades and Dreadlords can "summon" to run a timer, at the end of which their horse will be instantly summoned to their location.
    - order horse flee - with Ride at level 4 or higher, you can "order horse flee" to make your horse flee from combat. This will work with any horse.
    - order horse unfollow - anyone with Ride can "order horse unfollow" to get a horse to stop following them.
    - order horse return home - if you wish to get rid of your horse, "order horse return home" will cause it to despawn. Can only do this to the horse you issued.

Expect the changes to be tweaked as needed over the coming days. If you find any bugs, please report them.
