If you don’t have a horse or don’t want it armoured, you can get an “old nag” for free, armoured in steel. They offer an equal amount of protection, so it really only depends on looks. There are two types of armour available – Elven and Steel.
If you present the note to her, she will armour your horse for free. Upon loading the game, a note from Snak gra-Bura of the Chestnut Handy Stables appears in your inventory.
This was the first DLC released for Oblivion. The first post is about the Horse Armour Pack. All plug-ins (excluding Battlehorn Castle) were also released for PC in a retail box version. PS3 players cannot get any other plug-ins other than Knights of the Nine, which is included in the PS3 version.
These plug-ins can be bought off Bethesda’s online store (or Xbox Live for 360 players). The next few posts will be about the 9 official plug-ins released for Oblivion.
