Elks of Mirkwood have a rather high base health level compared to standard horses. If you allow yourself or the server allows you the choice to choose between a horse from Rohan or an elk from Mirkwood, I'd always choose the rohirric ride. Health and other physical traits are comparable but the view on screen is much better. The elk has a longer neck, broader head and antlers that blur the riders view. If possible, I'd like Mevans to improve that. The visual aspects of riding an elk now simply discourage their use as a mount.
