We as LOTRO Gold players do care what our mounts look like.
Basically it has the pony animation when it runs which causes the rider to bounce uncontrollably high in the saddle. Alternating between walk/run does not fix it. Dismounting and re-mounting does not fix it.It also has that unsightly kink in the end of it's tail that was once fixed on all horses (ponies don't seem to have it) and is back again.It may seem like a minor issue, but working hard for a mount or spending your hard earned money on Turbine Points for one only to find it does not work right aesthetically can be a real let down. While I won the Steed of Minas Ithil and got it for free (Yay! I do thank you for that.) I just wanted to give a heads up that we as LOTRO Gold players do care what our mounts look like when we ride them. Like the "horsey pants" they are, they are an extension of our characters.
