I was thinking that mounted combat was only DLC available but to my surprise i bought a hourse to be ready for Dawnguard and I hit X and my bow came out. Im like HOLY CRAP!!!! Killed my first spider on horse back and it was sweet.

Next week you'll be telling us Dawnguard has vampires in it. XD jk jk.

Prefer to say Dawnguard will have dead vampires

Wait, Dawnguard will have vampires?

On a more serious note. That is what I kind of thought to. I was fairly skeptical but everywhere I saw about mounted combat said would be out with Dawnguard. Very confusing time that was.

Mounted combat is associated with Dawnguard because patch 1.6 and Dawnguard both come out in the same month (for 360) so they are very close to one another.
