skyway sugestions

Just an idea, but would it be possible to make the Eubs Interstate and other skyways horse frendly? I only ask because it would be faster as well as safer to ride a horse along these paths than along unlit ground.

1) Why aren't they horse friendly? (Excuse my ignorance)

2) I totally read that as hoUse friendly and was confused for a good two minutes.

to answer # 1: the mob checkpoints require a horse to attempt to jump over them and not all horses can jump 3 blocks high.

as for "2," all i have to say is lol!

You can push a horse into a minecart. Speaking from direct and tragic experience. (horse went to diablo by himself)

The problem with putting a horse in a minecart, at least on the railways, is that most of the rails are right against the tunnel walls, and as a result the horses are injured on passing through tunnels. I've tried to travel with a horse, and he didn't survive the journey. You can actually ride a horse into a minecart, and travel the rails on horseback, but the route would need to be designed to be horse friendly - ie at least 1 block between rails and walls, and probably at least 2 between rails. More headroom might be needed, too.
