More Horses?

JoelSammallahti · 09-18-2016, 05:00 AM

Basic Set has a couple of horses in it, and Low-Tech has horse armor. Are there other books or Pyramid articles with more horse stats, equipment, or related rules?

There's this thread.

There is a little (very little) in Low-Tech Companion 3 - mostly about at what TL what horse becomes available and how much they eat.

There was an article in the previous version of Pyramid. It contained words like "courser." But unfortunately, there do not seem to be many horsey people willing to donate their time to writing GURPS books and supplements, and it was not one of the subjects which got the original authors excited.

Low Tech has many types of saddle and tack, riding crops, lariats, etc.

It is one of Pyramid's sample articles.

And I believe it's for 3rd edition, so the page references are wrong. But it shouldn't be difficult to adapt.

Let the author know that we still appreciate her work after all these years, and would love to see more.

Oh yeah, I think I have that as a 10-year-old printout in one rpg folder or another. Great article, very useful.

Also, a chap named Cubbins, creator of a setting called Saduria has produced a fan made marketplace pdf which AFAIK is still free to download which has useful horse related sections:
