If all we can do is butcher them... do I do that early or later?GarrieIrons 01:45, 4 January 2008 (EST)

If you wait, their population will grow, which you can then cull for a decent ongoing source of meat/bones/hides. Your choice. Having lots of animals around does slow down framerates a little.--Maximus 02:28, 4 January 2008 (EST)

Yeah, but I only bought one with me... and I'm out of other food ;_; GarrieIrons 07:05, 4 January 2008 (EST)

Hope that you can get it to breed with traders. You've got a few years from Embark! to get a heard started before it dies of old age. Alternatively, buy all the animals you can, and hope to eventually get a male/female pair.

If you r lucky u might have some wild horses on your map sooner or later, try to tame some (or hunt them ;)) --Koltom 01:41, 10 February 2008 (EST)

Beware the ninja horse

Retrieving items from a certain area of my map repeatedly failed, "interrupted by horse". Checking for a nearby horse, i never found one, until i scrolled through the z axis and indeed there was a horse lurking on top of a tree. I guess it dropped down the cliff when one of my hunters chased it, quite funny, obviously it can't get down and will stay there forever.--Koltom 09:43, 23 March 2008 (EDT)

Teleport.exe? --Savok 10:33, 23 March 2008 (EDT)

Get some soldiers armed with crossbows to kill it, or dig underneath of it to collapse the tree. Diabl0658 11:58, 23 March 2008 (EDT)

Riding animals

Can humans ride horses in Adventure mode? --Lordmick134 10:11, 26 March 2008 (EDT)

I'm fairly sure that that hasn't been implemented yet, but that's not an area that falls in my expertise. --Savok 11:00, 26 March 2008 (EDT)

Milking Horses

Horses are milked in the real world by some cultures (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse and ctrl+F for "milk"), there's no reason to think that they won't be milkable once Toady does proper milking in DF.

Zombie horses...

...are surprisingly terrifying. Just needed to be said.
