Via Equina
Via Equina is an addon for Via Romana that adds intelligent horseback travel along your roads.
Simply mount your horse, press the Auto Ride key, and your horse will follow the road network while you decide which direction to take at intersections by looking where you want to go.
Transform Via Romana's roads into living highways by letting your horse handle the navigation while you enjoy the ride.

Credits
Via Romana mod team.
- I just learned how to code to add this in. Everything is based on their infastructure, even the art for the mod is based on theirs. So go give them all the props their mod is incredible!
When you press G while on a Via Romana Road, this is what you'll see!
At intersections, look in the direction of the path you want to go. You can see the path by holding Via Romana's charting map.
Horses have 4 different speeds! The speeds are Walk (0.35x), Trot (0.60x), Canter (0.95x), and Gallop (1.3x). While you're galloping, you lose stamina *yellow bar*, and you can regain stamina by lowering your speed.
An unintended side effect of this mod is, you can practice horseback archery! While in auto-ride, you can use bows, crossbows, etc and not be locked into just looking forwards!
Pack up your stuff and bring it with you on the roads! AstikorCarts Redux works amazingly with this mod!
