Please read this sticky post before asking questions. Thank you. :) It is an attempt to explain exhaustively the features, and clarify some of the "flaws" of the game or the mod.
General Most of the parameters of the mod are updated at the moment you mount on your horse. Be sure to un-mount and mount again if you played with some settings.
The speed restriction The speed restriction allows to tweak the speed restriction that is applied near/in the cities. You can choose to remove it and let Roach gallop in cities, or at the contratry make it more pronounced and only allow to trot.
The speed adjustment The speed adjustment allows to tweak the speed of each of the horse's paces. Note that it is a subtle change, but that allows to tweak a bit the paces for any of you who wants it slower or faster. It is an additional +/- percentage slider of the default speed animations of the horse. I choose, on purpose, the minimum and maximum limits to prevent breaking the animations.
The stamina cost The stamina cost allows to tweak the cost of each of the horse's paces. It can be used to remove the cost of galloping, or at the contrary add a cost for other paces. By default, only the gallop speed costs stamina. If the stamina is all drained out, it causes an exhaust and the horse will slow down to canter. If you set the canter speed to also costs stamina, the stamina exhaustion will cause the horse to slow down to trot.
The Horse's temper adjustments This settings section allows to tweak the temper of your horse. It can prevent the fear of ground inclination or the fear objects in the front of the horse, and the threshold of fear of water height can be adjusted. It can also be used to remove the auto-following of roads.
this mod make posible horse long combat ? i mean i can disable the fear level and never get dismounted when in combat with this mod or with another? thanks !!
On Game version 4.03 everything seemed to work fine until I got to a horse race, then stamina dropped fast... I wasn't bothering to buy better gear and well still won race but that is not the point ;) I wanted to have just better stamina not infinite stamina so chose this mod but had to go with infinite as I don't like horse racing in general but hate leaving a quest on map :p
Hey PhalzyrD, thanks for the feedback ! I will look about it and, I think my code is not executed in that case. If I can, I'll add an option to choose wheter or not the mod's stamina management should be applied to horse races. :)
I was looking at the code… and I feel like the stamina management has no issue in old-gen. Can you confirm what happens ? I'm available on Discord in case you can PM your ID and want to talk about it. :)
right now, i have improved Horse Controls for this. does this do it so you have to press shift only to increase the speed, or do i still need to hold it like in vanilla?
Hey thank you so much for making this! The option to turn off the path following is a such a good option on steam deck where I’m playing right now on it’s controller. Once again thanks!
Can you add an option to toggle the functionality of the horse to "Follow main road If the user doesn't steer (Not using ASD only W)"? I know this function is already included in vanilla game but It's not working for me & I don't know why honestly. So, it'd be an extra option for those who want to disable it entirely & for those who are trying to get It to work like me. I assume you're just going to rewrite the vanilla part of code into your mod script & add the option in the menu file (modNTakHorse.xml).
Unfortunately, Pressing Shift just “Canter” on the road without sticking to the main road, the horse just moves straight until I press A or D to tilt the direction.
Something is probably overriding this function but I can’t figure It out, Maybe Ghost Mode idk…
I only use few horse mods though, I’ll list them here according to priority (Highest to lowest) maybe this’ll help: - N’Tak’ Horse - Smooth Horse Mounting - Crow’s Saddle overhaul - Infinite Horse Stamina - Thoughtful Roach
Sorry to hear that but I never had those issues in 1.32.
Are you sure there is not another mod conflicting with it ? The Roach temper settings and the speed adjustments can be subtle.
Also, for information, most of the settings are applied at the moment you mount. So, be sure to un-mount/re-mount after playing with the settings to make it work. Maybe that was your issue ? I'll make a post about it.
I still automatically draw my sword when riding near enemies even with this option turned off. Although, disabling the slowdown time tweak seems to work in the same section. Witcher 3 4.00 Fix 2.

Yep, you need to hold the shift key, like in vanilla. I'll may take a look about it at some point.
I know this function is already included in vanilla game but It's not working for me & I don't know why honestly.
So, it'd be an extra option for those who want to disable it entirely & for those who are trying to get It to work like me.
I assume you're just going to rewrite the vanilla part of code into your mod script & add the option in the menu file (modNTakHorse.xml).
In my case, to make the horse follow the road, I press only Shift on the road.
Have you tried that ?

By “only Shift”, I mean that I do not keep pressing W. If you press W, you move straight.
pressing “only shift” -> Horse moves forward
pressing “Shift + W” -> Horse moves forward
I only use few horse mods though, I’ll list them here according to priority (Highest to lowest) maybe this’ll help:
- N’Tak’ Horse
- Smooth Horse Mounting
- Crow’s Saddle overhaul
- Infinite Horse Stamina
- Thoughtful Roach
Not works: Roach's fear against water and grounds and objects, horse control in combat, speed adjustments
In this case, it is useless for me. (Steam, v1.32)
Sorry to hear that but I never had those issues in 1.32.

The Roach temper settings and the speed adjustments can be subtle.

I'll make a post about it.

Edit: I'm running the WItcher v4.00 fix 2.
Although, disabling the slowdown time tweak seems to work in the same section.
Witcher 3 4.00 Fix 2.
The stamina issue is now resolved in 1.3.1.
I don't know about the sword draw, I'll investigate a bit more soon.
