Mount Stamina/Sprint

Ok, I know most of you have noticed this but i'll post it anyways. The stamina bar for the horses seems to only be for the amount of hits you can take before being knocked of the horse and not about the duration of sprinting.

The game says that feeding your horse hay will increase spring duration but all the horses can sprint indefinitely, as long as you do not let go of the sprint button. So, is this a part of the game's design or it is a flaw in the stamina/sprint system?

    If the tooltip and all of the explanations ( from ZEN ) are right it´s a bug.
    I think it is even unrealistic to treat stamina for horses differently then for players.

    I hope is it bug as you say, because then there would be little reason for have a stamina horse. As of now, i do not mind the issue since it's not a big problem. I just hope they are aware of it and implement a patch some time in the future.

    It is a game design that you can run indefinitely with horses, stamina is only relevant to whether you would be dismounted or not.

    And it is actually quite realistic, as horses are actually not capable of feeling exhaustion, they can be rode to death if one is not careful.

    Isn't there a faster "boost" for the horses that actually uses the stamina? I may be wrong, but I thought there was.

    The system is a bit confusing:
    - if you hold down shift, you simply ride at an increased rate (and drain stamina slowly). If you have no stamina, you can still hold down shift for the boost.
    - but, when you TAP shift you travel faster. If you repeatedly tap shift you move very fast but drain stamina rapidly.

    In PvP with the assault buff, you can reach crazy speeds.

    if it's a game design, then i they need to change the hay description saying it allows you to sprint for longer distances to simply take more hits before dismounted. Because this whole stamina thing is quite confusing as dumbo stated.

    Stamina horses are more for pvp. They allow you to continue riding away without being dismounted OR to dismount before you are dismounted to attack the target that hit you.

    Also this,
