Hey gamers i just bought that black beauty at the stables 1000 coins, how the heck do I keep this horse a live... I got the free white horse when i started this game and he died 3 times and finally wouldn't come back.. WHICH BEING A REAL HORSEWOMEN IS SO GROSS YOU CAN EAT YOUR OWN DEAD HORSE IN THIS GAME ALMOST MADE ME THROW THE GAME AWAY!!! So where are the other stables where you can buy another horse if you kill this one. So gamers the ones who love this game help me with this help me to fall in love with Skyrim V again... Oh just to let you know i play on my ebox360 if that helps... Thanks Phenix.....

Hey ppl whats the answer here????? How do you keep your horse alive? I saw somewhere i think youtube a terrible video of a white horse on this game and the video was showing the horse can't be killed? Anyone know about this white horse?

On the PC there's a mod that makes horses essential so that they can't be killed. Unfortunately you don't have this option on the xbox.

You should try not to ride with your horse into a fight. Use healing spells to heal it. Press the ALT-key when you are on your horse to make it run faster.

If you find it too troublesome then know that there are mods which make horses faster, add unique horses to the game and can make horses immortal. Sorry, I forgot you were playing on an ebox... No mods there.

There are stables where you can buy horses in 5 of the 9 hold capitals. I don't want to list them because that might be considered spoilerish. As to keeping them alive, don't ride off of steep ledges, if you see an enemy coming try to dismount and attack before they get to your horse. If you don't see an enemy coming, use the sprint key to ride away from trouble, once you get some clearance you can dismount and attack - or just keep riding, whichever you prefer. When your horse attacks a dragon or frost troll, cross your fingers and hope. I find the horses are fun, but they can be too brave for their own good. If you wait long enough, the stable keepers will restock when your favorite horse gets turned into Dragonborn Stew.

thanks everyone i went out bought the HUGE book of Skyrim and OMG its thicker than the yellow pages but VERY VERY COOL..... I found what i was looking for in the book thanks again gamers and happy trails from Phenix............
