Due to staying in combat after no longer in combat issues persisting since launch, let us...mount in combat, but the mount has 0 stamina when summoned. This way, if you are in a fight or are damaged you automatically fall off your horse.
Issues I perceive may have to do with sorc streak ability or icy escape, maybe even nightblade stealth or invis pots, just keep players unable to mount for some seconds if they use these or any mobility abilities, or have done damage or receive damage within the past 30 seconds or so. Once this fix becomes popular people will even say their mount should start with more stamina! imagine that being the only complaint. Instead, we still have the issue of always being in combat and running at in-combat speed. I started this game more than half a decade ago and this bug hasn't been fixed and I think a workaround should be implemented, even if it's imperfect.
p.s. i wrote this suggestion while running to my nearest keep so i could reset at cheesemonger's hallow since that seems to be the only fix other than suiciding.
