Here in this thread we should discuss about how you think horses and their riders should be armed. I guess it’d be great to have a lot of grenades (including gas). Also, a horse could carry additional ammo and medkit for you and teammates. ---

the more you equip it, the slower he gets? maybe even use them to tow equipment? ---

If really depends on the type they add. Historically they had Lancers long spears, Cavalry swords, Light Horseman rifles. With Cavalry and Lancers had pistols as secondary, Light Horseman are just standard Infantry with no secondary. As for BF I don’t see why a Horse would have extra stuff if quads in BF4 offered nothing extra. But that does not mean those on Horse back should not get a lance or sword while they are on the horse. ---

Regarding horses: 1. Will they be able to whinnie? 2. Will they be able to rear-up? 3. Will our emblems appear on the saddle blankets, or somewhere else? 4. Will we be able to heal our horses if injured? 5. Will we be able to jump, crouch, and prone with our horses? 6. Will there be armor for the horses? ---

I’d think that horsemen would be able to use pistols and swords (War Horse, anyone?). And, instead of carrying an extra person how bout storage space? ---

> [@DingoKillr](#): > > As for BF I don’t see why a Horse would have extra stuff if quads in BF4 offered nothing extra Well, it would be awkward, if there were a lot of horses around the map without riders, unlike quad bikes. A horse should be very important if you spawned with it, so I guess such stuff like meds wouldn’t be bad. Also, maybe they should make the rider useless without a horse?
