This is the long awaited recreation of the plugin PortableHorses by metalhedd! Original link: https://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/portable-horses/
About
If you are the owner of a factions, survival or RPG kind of server, then you should know for sure how much of an issue horses are. Going on expeditions just to find horses than having to bring them back home on a usually long, frustrating trip that almost certainly has to go over rivers or oceans (which horses can't cross) just doesn't seem to be worth it, leaving many players without a horse. In a role-play server, horses should be essential, as well as in a factions server, where horse battles between factions are just glorious. Those are all just several reasons a server owner should promote horses to their players, but the limitations of vanilla minecraft make this almost impossible.
However, metalhedd solved this issue a long time ago with the release of portable horses, an awesome plugin that allows players to wield horses right into their saddles, giving them the opportunity to store them in chests (making them ideal raid targets in factions) or trade them with others (great for survival servers). I have myself used PortableHorses and my players simply loved it. When it was discontinued in 1.7.9, although I tried to replace it with other horse management plugins, like Stables, players simply didn't like it's system as much as the good old PortableHorses, so I ended up coming back to the vanilla behavior. Now however, after spending several weeks into creating this plugin as configurable and with as many features as possible, I think it's ready for the ultimate test: hitting the road!

Every field in the config is well documented in the file. Reading the whole config file (especially the comments) will help you understand all the features of the plugin and how to fine-tune them to your server's needs. Comments are present before each field to help you understand what that setting does and how it does affect the game-play (with examples). A copy of the default configuration file can be seen bellow:
Why paid?...
...You might ask. Althought the original pluin metalhedd made was free, it was lacking some features my plugin now offers (such as the ability to translate every single message displayed), and it dropped support after 1.8 came out. Further more, potential bugs discovered couldn't be fixed, as metalhedd seems to have taken a break from minecraft altogether. You should also keep in mind that I didn't use a single line of code from his plugin, everything I did was 100% original, altough he might have done things in a simmillar manner to me. However, if you REALLY consider you can't afford paying for this (you have a very small server, little or no donations), feel free to send me a PM about that and we shall discuss things.
