Hmm, i'm finally diving into the SRD and this idea...might not fit the Object's definition:
The Object cannot act alone, it needs to be used by an Agent.
Unless I commit to focus on the Horse's interactions with the rider and the places they venture into, I need to find a solution to make it "stationary" in some way. But is the Horse always docile? Can the Horse run away? Can it throw off its Rider?
Questions questions questions.
I've only had a surface read of the rules, but I think a horse would be pretty cool. Perhaps the horse is usually "obedient" and "stationery" like an object, doing as his rider instructs, except when his "instinct" or "fear" traits are triggered. Like "afraid of fire" or "always docile" or "cannot refuse food". As I said, still didn't read the rules, but horse idea sounds awesome.
Firstly, feel free to pick and choose from the SRD, obviously! Ignore what you don’t like, take what you do & reshape it to fit.
I think the main reason for emphasising ‘the object cannot act alone’ is that you can risk devaluing the influence of the agents if the object can just do whatever it wants, whenever it likes. But here, clearly you’ve got an animal that is typically in servitude to a rider, so I think it should work really nicely. Sure, your horse might spend a year running around in the moors, but eventually the story will pick back up when someone comes to ride them again.
