My kingdom for a horse (that can swim and doesn't vanish)

Since Beta I've wondered this, it never disappeared in Skyrim, ran off sometimes if it got scared but it did not vanish. Yeah I know, lots more folks around but so what? If you get off your horse there's still two digitally coded objects on the screen, you and your horse, and if you go into a building then it just leaves one outside. I don't see the big deal. If I had a magical creature maybe, but it's a horse! Never seen a horse disappear before.

And whilst we're at it, why is it my stupid horse vanishes if it gets it's ankles wet? They couldn't be arsed to make a horse swim animation or what?

Whilst Roach was sometimes 'odd' in TW3 he at least didn't disappear, he came when you called him from some hidden location, he would wander off to forage or find a stable if you neglected him too long, just like a real horse.

Finally, horses in Skyrim had legs like tree trunks, in ESO they are better, but please guys, go do some real horse motion capture and get it right.

    If it was real life maybe, but it's a game! I hope you never see an atronach mount, because they call them the RP nightmare.

    It's different for a single player game. It sure would be crowded in cities with pets and mounts and player characters and combat pets ...

    I want horse swimming. I roll my eyes every time my character goes through water and I get kicked off the horse. So annoying.

    Rift made an amphibious alligator mount that you could ride in water awhile ago

    You should be slapped for even trolling this lol.

    However, I don't think horses should be able to swim. I do think they should make it easier to see shallow areas better. Morrowind has been annoying when you have a lot of water to cross like the Sadryth Mora quests and 95% of it is shallow enough to run across, but then you hit that small little spot that isn't and you dismount for two steps then can remount. That needs to be fixed.

    I do like how mounts swim in WoW. It also seems that flying mounts are a big hit in WoW and FFXIV. Not stating that they are need in ESO but they are very fun.
