    As you may know, sheriffs need to get around quickly without needing to teleport to another player because of the extensive cool down time on the /tpa command. They need to get to many rebel bases quickly to catch people if they know there is illegal activity there. There are many risks a sheriff's horse has. I feel sheriffs need a horse more than the average person. They need to get around to many different places quickly and without the horse dying. As of now, the maximum horse speed without donating is 0.35. It takes a fair amount of time to get from a town's sheriff station or railroad to a rebel base.

    I was thinking of adding a horse for sheriffs that are either permanent or have 0.4 speed. Not both, because that would be too over powered. A 0.4 speed horse would be really nice to have because it would lend the ability to sheriffs to get to rebel bases much faster. It can let sheriffs actually catch up to a bandit trying to escape, rather than having to shoot them to get to them, which is illegal unless the bandit shot first. I have had a few experiences where someone kills someone else in a rebel base or someone is processing drugs, gets on their horse without shooting at me, and escapes, because our horses are the same speed. I can't shoot them , because they haven't shot at me.

    The permanent horse would be nice to have because, well, it can die, but just respawns again. To make it more fair, it shouldn't have any space for storage, just to have. Like stated earlier, a has to get to rebel bases or drug fields safely. The only realistic way of doing that without /tpa is with a horse. If I get there and am outside of the base, I immediately send my horse back to the stable so it can't be harmed. Since the high amount of rebel bases a sheriff goes to, there is a high risk of someone in the base shooting the horse before I get to the entrance of the base.

    Also, to prevent my horse from dying, I send my horse to the stable whenever I get to a base, not knowing if there are people in it or not. If there is no one there, I go back to the nearest town to go to the train for the next rebel base. At the base, it takes about 90 seconds average for the horse to get there. That is a big period of wasted time, not being able to go to the next base. With a permanent horse, I wouldn't have to worry about my horse dying, letting me not need to stable my horse, cutting down on time in between getting to rebel bases.

    It would be a nice addition to have for sheriffs, rather it be a permanent horse or a horse with a higher then average speed.

    I agree but maybe a sheriff should have a faster horse that respawns every 5 minutes or so? It would make life as a Sheriff a lot easier and more efficient however yes I agree, it's quite OP. Just a thought.
