Horse mounts were the first type of mount introduced at Rumor Woods as part of a new mount system. Mounts are summoned by a summoning item, such as reins, which stores their information, but are considered a separate item. There were three tiers released: common, uncommon, and rare. All horse mounts share a similar set up with their appearance.

Appearance

He/she stands just 16 hands at the withers. He has a well-muscled body with a healthy dun coat. He has a square face, a short forelock, and pointed ears. He has a long mane that flows loose down his neck and a full black tail.

Common

Common mounts are the least expensive option when considering purchase. They are restricted to being just "horse", and are limited in alteration options that may be allowed through the Ostler.
