History
Yay Mounts was a mount management Addon for World of Warcraft that has stopped being maintained since September 2016. The addon developers were Faldoncow and askander_kt.
Bestride is a continuation of the code, which will hopefully fix some of the bugs as well as repair some deficiencies in the previous code. Also included is the latest ACE3 versions of the libraries used. Code will be gradually refactored up to the released, which will be v1.0
Special mounts are also usable:
- Flying Broom
- Oculus Mount
- Northrend Loaned Mount
- Abyssal Seahorse
- Subdued Seahorse
- Sea Turtle
- ~~Water strider (prioritized)~~

Hi!
I've downloaded the addon today and I'm enjoying it a lot so far, I have only one issue: shop mounts are considered only as flying, is there a way they could be considered ground too?
Thank you and congratulation for your great job!
This seems to prefer the Sea Turtle over the Water Strider when I am swimming even though I have disabled the Sea Turtle as a mount.

I've enough addons running as is with my slow system, but there is one feature I've never seen a mount addon include, that I have had to cram into a macro. Some mounts are quite large, such that the camera view that was just fine for being on foot leaves most of the screen filled with the butt of whatever you just mounted if not re-adjusted. Adding a preferred pre-saved camera setting for each mount should be trivial, and would keep one from having, for example, the cloud serpent's tail in your face all the time.

I just want to let everyone know, I am currently pushing Alpha's to the forge, so if you don't want to get caught with unclean code, please make sure you are using the Twitch client with "Release" and not "Alpha" or "Beta" for Release Type.
Seemed to be working yesterday, but after a small patch last evening no longer functions for me, even with the key bound. I am guessing Bliz is messing with something that keeps breaking it.
Edit: It was not working while I was in Dalaran. When I went out to the new area in Tiragarde, it worked fine summoning my ground mount. Must be something to do with flight?
Can not mount even with the keybinding ssaying succesfull
Broken completely in 8.0. Anxiously awaiting an update! YM/Bestride has been a staple in my mod list for a very long time.
