Need Help Please Possible Glitch : V

I went to play Skyrim for the first time in a while right now and first thing I try is the new mounted combat I heard about...big problem...it's not working. What am I doing wrong? I've tried multiple horses, a new character, multiple swords and bows and every possible button combination...i'm lost.

Were you online when you started the game?

Edit: I may have made unfounded assumptions. Shadow hide this post.

It's not out yet. Mounted Combat is coming in Dawnguard.

Mounted combat is in 1.6 patch.

And are you playing on PS3?

Yes i'm online and on PS3.

Yes i'm online and on PS3.

Xbox 360 is the only system that has the 1.6 patch at the moment if I recall..PC may have gotten it, I somehow doubt it though.

1.6 patch adds mounted combat.

Darn, my edit wasn't fast enough.

Not out for PS3. The patch with mounted combat most likely won't drop for PS3 until right before Dawnguard does, roughly over a month from now.

What? That's absurd. Timed exclusive patches now? Please tell me you're joking otherwise i'm going to be sick. Timed exclusive DLC is one thing and i'm ok with that. Holding back added features from platforms is disgusting at best.

They released it first for Xbox 360 because the Xbox 360 is getting it first, you need the 1.6 Patch to play Dawnguard supposedly, it prepares your game for it, I think.

Sadly I'm not joking. The reason is most likely because (sorry, I haven't read 1.6 patch notes) 1.6 also includes compatability for Dawnguard. That's the only plausible reason, as that's the only reason I can see why they would wait to release it.

And in response to your comment below, no, you don't need DG for mounted combat.

Do you need Dawnguard for mounted combat?

Mounted combat came in the 1.6 patch so no, its just in the 1.6 patch is a compatibility thing for Dawnguard, I suppose they thought if they released it for all systems they would all assume they were getting it on the same day as the Xbox, stupid yes but meh.
