Oh, this isn’t a real post. Just was so happy to finally get a horse in Lord of the Rings Online. I don’t subscribe to LotRO, but each time Turbine offers a free play weekend — or week, in this case — I log in and see if I can make enough to get a horse.
I was going to be riding last night. I WANTED the Spring Festival horse, but after doing a couple of the “spring leaf” events, I got bored and gave up on that project. I’d settle for the regular mount, if I could afford it.
I had auctioned off most of my 37 Captain’s harvests and other gear a couple days ago; last night I did the same to my two alts. I ended up with 4 gold and 100 silver — an all-time high. The riding quest was tedious — ride a horse to Bree, Michel Delving and North Downs, ending with a race around the yard.
It was worth it in the end. I’m now the proud owner of Brown Betty, my chestnut mare.
So; not a real post. Tonight is a non-MMO night, so tonight I will be (I hope!) starting my series of five IP’s that SHOULD be made into MMOs. Tonight: #5: Gunsmoke, the MMO.

Congratulations! 🙂
Level up some more and then explore the lowbie areas again on horseback – I am sure you will find amazing stuff you did not explore yet. At least I always do, despite always trying to explore every area map completely.
Indeed, congratulations! To us both, actually, since it seems we both finished the horse quest yesterday. 🙂
Very nice screenshot. You look quite dashing upon your mare!
Gratz on the horsie! Very interesting way to play LoTRO lol.
