I don't see reason for buff it/set the riding difficulty to 0

1 : If you want a no-requirement horse, the donkey exist already, and if the sumpter is set at difficulty 0, no one will buy the donkey (or just for trolling  :D)

2 : I think his upkeep is good for his stats, no need to buff  :D

Should only cost one point of riding rather than two IMO. Otherwise its a shit horse for a shit rider, fills its niche, albeit a niche that isn't very prominent on the battlefield.

It's pretty shit the way it is right now, maybe not the 0 riding cuz donkey would be useless and it's too cute to die off but I'd like a buff or something. It's fucking gross looking and it doesn't do anything. Might as well get a rouncey

On siege a sumpter is very useful.  I spawn with one every round.  It multiplies my effectiveness.

On offense I can speed to the objective.  I may die, but on my next life I'm back fighting the same guy in like 12 seconds.  It's awesome.

On defense, I can jump down from very high walls to objectives or chokepoints.  The horse usually dies, but I am unharmed and can fight on.  Saves a ton of time having to locate and run down stairs.

So its kind of a disposable transport system.  It's not to be used for fighting on (tho sometimes I do get a lucky drive-by swiping kill).

TL;DR: I love my sumpter.  Her name is Butterstuff.

Sumpter is excellent for non-cav builds that want to get to the siege ladders on siege faster

The Sumpter has its niche. If anything happens to balance horses, it needs to be done across the board, not to a single one.
