Now that you mention the horse in a bag thing... did you guys notice in the DF screen shot the mini ship in the bottom left corner of the main bag...

Yep, UO style baby, place your boat in the water and when you're done, empty out the cargo hold and then you can collapse the ship and put it back in your bag it would seem. (of course the ship statue or deed is a weight you can easily carry)
