#### **Drops**
On death horses only drop tack and items they were equipped with. Unlike vanilla horses, no leather is dropped on death.

#### **Behavior**
**Wandering** Horses engage in idle wandering or standing still and looking around most of the time, occasionally displaying idles such as tail swishing, itching and shaking. Other idle animations like grazing and laying down are accessible only via [RRP commands](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/coming-soon-rrp-commands). Occasionally horses will pee or poop (resulting in pee puddles and poop piles) on the ground or any [shavings](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/shavings) nearby.
**Eating & Drinking** When hungry or thirsty, horses will seek out [food](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/swequestrian-mod/page/feed-system) and [water](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/swequestrian-mod/page/thirst-system) and can be seen eating or drinking from these sources.
**Sleeping** Horses will lie down to sleep at night, or during thunderstorms.
**Damage** When attacked or taking damage, horses can rear or kick. Kicks deal  damage.
Harmed horses may kick others nearby, who might kick back. This can cause a potentially fatal kick-off if not intercepted.
