The Bethblog announces Skyrim v1.6 will feature mounted combat along with a number of fixes (including several crash fixes). As usual, PC players can opt into the Steam beta:

The team at Bethesda Game Studios is excited to announce another new feature making its way into Skyrim... Mounted Combat! Like the recently added Kinect support (360) and new kill cameras, this highly-requested feature that was seen in the Skyrim Game Jam video is arriving for free. In fact, by opting into the latest Steam Beta Update, PC users can check out the feature today. As far as release on other platforms, we'll let you know when we have more information.

Thanks again to all our fans, we remain committed to supporting the game through our free updates, mod tools, and more. And yes, we're still working on our first add-on, Dawnguard - some great stuff to show you soon, stay tuned!
