Can you gain dex on horses by any of these methods?

[GuardianKnight]

Lighting a fire near a horse so it can gain dex passively or by wrestling?

Can a pet gain dex at all?

Faust...you are the expert on everything and seem to know everything about UO. Care to give it a looksy?

[marmalade]

theres only a certain number of skills that pets can gain in. camping isnt one of them.

[MatronDeWinter]

There is no passive gain here, I'm sure that applies to NPC's as well.

As far as gaining dex, I believe Kaivan noted in another thread that wrestle should be 50/50 dex/str. Currently it seems like wrestle is 100% str, and no dex gain.

I just did a quick skim looking for references on wrestling stats.

It appears that in December of 98 Wrestling gave 10% to Strength and nothing to Dexterity.

This continued until between April and November of 99 where it changed to 9% Strength, 1% Dexterity.

For what its worth, here's a player account from Nov 15, 99:

It's unfortunate but wrestling also raises dex some. I've wrestled water
ellies for tacs and gotten 2 pts of dex. Most of the time it raises str,
but it will occassionally push up dex. Keep using it and str will push
it back down.

Ye I am quite certain the demo is wrong, it was 10% str during our era

Yes, this is what I remember - vast majority of attribute gains were STR, with some DEX mixed in.
