Horses can be purchased at stables outside major cities, except for the Imperial City, which has a stable, but no horses can be purchased there. For instance, Imperial Legion soldiers can be seen patrolling, as well as couriers riding black horses. Unique horses include Shadowmere and the unicorn. The type of horses in Oblivion are light Thoroughbred or Hanoverian types, unlike the heavier types seen in Daggerfall and Skyrim. Horses can be purchased outside of any major town or they can be stolen. Horses are the main forms of exploring/traveling in Oblivion. Horses appear in Arena, Daggerfall, Oblivion, and Skyrim, but were absent in Morrowind. There are also thoughts that Shadowmere is faster than even black horses, with a speed of around 70. It is believed that anyone with over 60 speed is faster than the black horse. With a high enough Speed and Athletics, it is possible to outrun any horse. Horses tend to fight back if attacked first, except Shadowmere who attacks immediately. The last horse the Hero got on will fast travel with them, including the Unicorn. Horses cannot jump while standing still, however they are able to jump while galloping. It is also possible to climb almost any slope while on a horse, by zigzagging the horse left and right while jumping it. If care is not taken, horses may be lost this way on a regular basis. Some types of creatures will often choose to attack a horse instead of the Hero if the horse is nearby. A character cannot fight from horseback and must dismount. The horse is the only rideable transportation in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
