Keeping Steeds Safe

[Breezy]

I skimmed the recent threads about steeds and didn't see anything. And I keep forgetting to bring it out ICly. But I figure this stuff is common so I'd ask here.

But how do you keep animals safe? My steed is loyal to me, so it wouldn't let anyone else ride it, right? Or must I unsaddle it to "park" it?

Thanks!

Thanks. I should have read it a bit more carefully

As horses have no locks, there needs to be a different way to restrict control over them. That's why only the owner can start riding, change its speed or make it turn around. The owner can also drag things from the horse much easier and the owner is much harder to drag away from it.

Somehow I completely skipped over that line...twice.

Just a random horse question. To give away a horse, I assume you have to unsaddle it, but how do you unadopt it so that someone else can have it? None of my chars have ever actually had pets before....

They can just hit the "adopt" button. I'm told that if the owner joins their adoption project it will progress faster, simulating "giving it away".

Thanks. Now just to travel around till I can even find somebody awake enough to give it away to...

You don't have to unsaddle it for others to adopt it.
