Show Riding Speed Indicator on Status Bar

I have turned on the status bar that is just above my action options (PS4). Could this please show if I am riding my horse at an accelerated speed?

It is not always clear whether I am riding fast or slow, especially with some mounts. Putting it there would keep it hidden for those who don't want it, but make it available for those who do.

    If you are ride at accelerated speed you mounts stamina will drain, that is the indicator.

    I didn't notice that. Though it goes down really slowly so it is not a great indicator. Having a square icon in the area for those effects would be very logical and fit the interface.

    Make a new character and have your horse sprint. I promise you'll notice it really quickly. XD

    Would be a nice option to have for those that wanted it. I know sometimes it is hard to tell. Honestly a little glow around the stamina line would be enough to show quickly that it is being used. Just a little QOL improvement.

    If you have really high Stamina, the bar does move slowly.

    What I do, is periodically reapply the Sprint Command. Many Environmental Factors, (pebbles, rocks, blades of grass, bridge entrances, etc), will knock your horse out of Sprint. So, about every 15 seconds or so, I hit Sprint again. It makes me look like those guys in the Western Moves that are frequently edging their horses on.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    MountRunSpeed = ((BaseWalkSpeed)*(1 + 0.45 + MountSpeedBonus + Skill.MountSpeed + CP.MountSpeed))*(1 + Set.MountSpeed + Buff.MountSpeed)

    BaseWalkSpeed 3
    MountSpeedBonus 0.6
    Skill.MountSpeed 0%
    CP.MountSpeed 0%
    Set.MountSpeed 2
    Buff.MountSpeed 0%
    Mount Run Speed 6.21m/s (14mph) without major gallop.

    Just for reference one of the faster (on foot) sprint speed in the game is 7.47m/s (16.7mph) (Fiord+7medium armor+maj/min expedition+cp), comparatively the mount run speed under the same spec would be 8.07m/s (18.1mph)

    Not much if you have maxed that 60 day amount.

    I realized that after trying it on a character with a 0 for that value (I am still pushing up speed and carry bonus). It is clear there, but not on a built up character.

    Still, adding a status icon to the status icon area makes sense....

    Of course some will oppose it by definition. I wonder how many of those who oppose something like this oppose any suggested enhancement?

    If you are sprinting on your mount then abilities cant be cast and are greyed out/darkened on your ability bar. That is one easy visual indicator. Im not sure I understand why people feel the need to reapply sprint every 15 seconds "just in case sprint wasnt active", or looking at the stamina drain. No need for all that. It's quite obvious from your ability bar if you are sprinting or not: ability bar is simply very clearly visually darkened.

    I can pretty easily tell if I am springing when not riding. It is when I am riding that I get confused.

    Though I had not realized the value of the riding stamina boost until asking this question, so at least I learned that!

    Not necessarily true. If you have the War Mount Champion Point Passive, it doesn't drain outside of combat.
