I've been playing Skyrim again.  This is my horse, Shadowmere.

As you can tell by the glowing eyes, Shadowmere is kind of a badarse.  I've seen him go head-first into a dragon's breath, come out the other side on fire, and start kicking all sorts of dragon butt.  There's another talent Shadowmere has, however... one that's much more valuable.


Velcro hooves.

That's the only way I can come up with an explanation for his ability to emulate a mountain goat, or a 4x4.

Maybe he's part-spider.  Or perhaps his horseshoes are covered with crazyglue.  Because there's no other way you can make sense of this:

He's an odd one, my Shadowmere, but he's great to have around all the same.

True story: I lost Shadowmere.  I rode him to a city, dismounted, and entered.  When I came back out, he was gone... since he's such a badarse, I assume he went off and cleared a bandit haven on his own.  It took three weeks of real-time for me to find him again, on a completely different part of the map from where I last saw him.  Complete and total luck... and I'm glad I did.

He's a Bad Horse.
