Suggestion: Mount Visual Improvement and Utility

I have a suggestion that I think would really improve the mount experience and encourage players to purchase more mounts from the crown store / crown crates (so, benefitting ZOS too). Many of the more 'premium' mounts have a special effect that activates when you rear up. For example, my favorite mount is the Ram of Dark Delights and I saved up my seals of endeavor to buy it years ago, still using it on my main character to this day. When you rear up, it gets a really cool particle effect of rose petals surrounding the mount. However, it is bothersome to rear up every time I get on my mount. I do a lot of running around and need to get up and go - the extra step to rear up is inconvenient. Therefore, most times I do not get to see the special effect that my expensive mount has unless I randomly remember to rear up. I think it would be AMAZING if it were an option in the settings for us to toggle whether or not a mount's 'rear up' particle effects play all the time (just like how we can hide mount upgrades in settings). I feel like this shouldn't be too difficult to add since we already have settings for mount visuals.
My second suggestion is more of a long shot and maybe not so easy to add. It would be so cool if we had the option to place mounts in our houses as furniture without their saddles. That way they would appear as a wild animal. This would allow for more immersive housing builds, and would provide more utility to mounts. For example, I would purchase the dual rider moose mount if I could place it in my house without the saddle. As is, I would not purchase it because I already have several dual rider mounts and never use them anyways. I imagine adding this functionality to mounts would depend on how ingrained their saddles are to their model. Some mounts do exist in the world without their saddles, like the Bear-Lizard Steed, which can be seen roaming around Blackwood as an enemy and it is a wild animal without the saddle that the mount version has (but otherwise both are identical). I would absolutely purchase more mounts, especially the plain / less flashy ones, if I could use them as furniture without their saddles.

Alphawolf01A✭✭✭✭✭I agree.
Options to hide the gear when placed in houses is a must. Maybe an interactive effect in the housing editor when placing them, to individually choose the gear settings, per mount. Kind of like the options with pathing them.
As to the rear up effect, an option for the effect to happen "when rearing up, always, when sprinting".1
