I just downloaded http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1522 so it doesn't get involved in the fights. Anyone know if there's a mod for a first person view while riding a horse yet? I'd like to play the entire game in first person.

mmm.... TBH, I as much as I would like it, I don't think the way you control the horse would work well with it.
