Hjertesten Hall - Stables
Put Hjertesten's own stable to use.
What this isAn add-on for Hjertesten Hall - Player Home and Settlement by Thay S. Hjertesten Hall already has a stable with two stalls. This adds a hitching post by the trough so your horses actually live in them.
Everything lives in its own ESL-flagged plugin. Hjertesten's files are not changed.

How it works
- Use the post and pick Stable a horse here. Your horses nearby show up in the list, including the one you just rode in on.
- The horse goes into its stall and stays there, day and night. It won't follow you when you fast travel.
- Ride a stabled horse whenever you like. When you're done, get off and go about your business. Next time you're back at the hall it's in its stall again.
- Both stalls full? Pick a horse to switch out.
- Have the steward send for a horse from the Whiterun, Solitude, Markarth, Windhelm or Riften stables. You pay the usual stable price plus 500 gold for the rider, and the horse is in its stall the next day. Hire a steward through Hjertesten's ledger first.
- Take ... out of the stable frees a stall and makes it a normal horse again.
- Change a horse's saddle, free, for any of your horses at the stable: the vanilla, Imperial and Dark Brotherhood saddles, Hjertesten's own saddle (with or without its blanket), and the Light and Stormcloak saddles or no saddle at all if you have the Wild Horses Creation Club. "Its own saddle" puts the original back.
Good to know
- Hjertesten's stable navmesh runs through the stall walls, so horses can't reliably walk into the bays on their own. Instead a stabled horse is set in its stall and held there. That happens when you arrive at the hall, when you use the post, and once you've walked away after a ride.
- Nothing runs in the background. The only timer is a short check after you ride a stabled horse, and it stops once the horse is back.
- You can close the stall gates. A horse in its stall stays put behind a closed gate.
- Made for Hjertesten Hall 17.6.
- Hjertesten Hall - Extra Jobs and Features: made to go together and tested together. The stable works the same with or without it.
- The Secret Legacy of Hjertesten puts its own horses in the same two stalls, so the horses would end up standing on each other. Use one or the other for now.
- Horse mods (Simplest Horses and the like) are fine: a stabled horse is let go from "your current horse" so it doesn't follow you around.
Installation
Built and played in a Nolvus Awakening load order. Nolvus users: install it like any other mod.
Install with your mod manager and load after Hjertesten Hall. ESL-flagged, so it doesn't use a load order slot.
Safe to install mid-game: load your save, and the stable's stalls work from the next time the stable loads.
