    Elven Warhorses and Tack Skins

    As long as Turbine artists are developing warhorse skins, including some for horses that have been sold in the store, I'd like to see a couple warhorse skins that are really elven-looking.

    Perhaps they are making these, and just want to surprise us elves with great looking elven warhorses.

    I'm really not happy with the idea that my elves will ride onto the plains of Rohan riding Rohan-themed armor and warhorses. Um, no; and pretty please???

    maybe something like the Rivendell rep steed but with armor instead of the fancy blanket.

    I agree with this suggestion. At least seeing elves on elven-like/style horses in Rohan is less queer than seeing them on Rohirrim steeds

    Legolas didn't seem to mind it too much.

    That being said, I, too, would like a war-horse with Elven-type armour.

    My Champ was created with Glorfindel in mind and I always regretted that the Rivendel rep horse was not Elven enough. And a customizable tack that could take dye would be fantastic.

    My remark was intended to be lighthearted, but you are correct, the Rohirrim removed the saddle and rein at the request of Legolas. Gandalf also rode Shadowfax in 'elf-fashion'. Of course the Rohirrim wore chainmail, not plate, and their horses were not armoured like those of medieval knights.

    would also be nice to choose the color of our war steeds, sorrel colored is fine on some but it would be nice to choose our own

    Fear not, we will be able to customize the colour of our war-horse. Watch the video below:
