If I buy a horse I was wondering if it goes back to the stables if left alone or if you fast travel without it or does it stay where ever you leave it no matter what? I was kind of curious before spending 1000 gold on it xD Haha.

The Horse fast travels with you, yes. If you set off on foot, it will stay at the same location you left it. So, I usually find a safe spot to "park" my horse in the wilderness, before I start off on foot. LOL

i left a very special horse in a rather large forsworn camp. came back through the area exploring and there she was kickin butts and taking names. LOL

If you're on PC, there are some mods that can add utility to your horse behavior; like summoning them with a whistle, and such. Google the Skyrim Nexus to find them, if you are interested.

That's kind of a bummer that if I forget where I left it that I can't just go to the stables and it'll be there. Hmm... Cool stuff though. Thanks guys! =)

Just fast travel to the stables and it will be there!

@ Gecko - LOL yea I exploring Arcwind Point and left Shadowmere near the large tomb in the center. We had already killed the Draugr Deathlord and a Dragon there, and when I came back, there were a pile of bones around his hooves hahahahahaha He had kicked some mega Skeleton butt! LOL
