I'm curious how other people handle traveling around on a mount when they have a companion? I mean I'm on a mount so I move pretty fast, the companion is on foot so they are slow of course and always playing catch up. Is it possible to buy a mount for your companion? Or are their companions who have their own mounts or something? It seems like an odd oversight, obviously since the game world is quite big, the first order of business for me was to buy a horse. But now I kind of feel like maybe the companions should stay home since they can't really keep up with me. Any solutions to that?

I just get to the place i'm going and wait a few hours

They should let us buy a horse for companions.
