Also in the Siege of Mirkwood are new mount "usage."
Basics:
1. No need to dismount when interacting with NPC's.
2. You can ride "thru" door's but will be dismounted if you can't normally ride inside.
3. Your horse gets 3 random emotes.
4. You get to name your horse.
5. You can emote while mounted (limited)
AND....
6. You get your first mount at level 20 NOT level 35. It will be a "slow" mount, slower than the normal mount you get at level 35.

I mentioned long ago that we'd be getting Mounted Combat when we hit Rohan- from the above link:

Comments:
1. Interacting with NPC's without dismounting from your mount - you'd find this a bit rude if done to you constantly in real life.
2. I never saw this as a huge problem- in fact it made sense to have to dismount BEFORE ridding into a door- just like in REAL life.
3. Nice 3 tricks!
4. I like that we finally get to do this however, no one else can see their name so - whats the point?
5. Finally, emoting while mounted a winner here.
6. A mount now at 20: walking is soooo yesterday, why not just hand them out at 1st level..
They just keep simplifying the challenges in LotRO & making this game easier & easier.
