Swimming mounts

An annoying thing in eso is that when you ride your mount and their toe goes underwater they dissapear. Which is very annoying especially when you just cross a small bit of water.

I am replaying skyrim and installed a mod called convenient horses and the horses swim when you ride them in the water.
This is fantastic and I hoped that they would put that option in ESO.

What do you guys think is this something only I want or are there more of you wanting the same?

    Just mark all the water that isn't clearly the ocean or a giant lake as safe for travel - it's stupid, annoying, and breaks immersion when you get dismounted because your horse's hoof touched a drop of water.

    I don't use mounts enough to be bothered. Every one of my characters farms mats while I'm playing them, and the mount/dismount/remount cycle is annoying. Running is fine.

    I think what is more annoying is when you go to jump over a stream and you're forced to dismount to gather some random resource that just happened to come into your field of vision at that exact moment.

    (double annoyance if it was a bug and Mirri disapproves - I was just trying to do a sick jump off this log and over the river, Mirri!)

    Y'know - at least one place on Amenos you can see ornaugs playing in the water - swimming, sounding (similar to dolphins or whales). They look like they're having fun. So who knows? You might see swimming mounts some day....

    I know I found that so cute. I was watching them for a while figuring out what they were. I love that they put that in the background.

    This used to happen in WoW too but they changed it so your mount now swims instead of dismounting you. The speed is reduced to swimming speed so your mount isn't just running full speed through the water. This makes sense and I hope they consider doing this here.

    Yeah, every time I go there I spend a LOT of time just watching them! And I bet I've stopped to look at every birdhouse too!

    I might remember it wrong, but didn't mounts swim at launch? Did I dream that? Anyone?

    A mount that SWIMS! but for balance that's all it does - you dismount when you reach land.

    I would like to join the chorus requesting this feature; mis-timing a jump and getting dismounted because I landed a step or two from shore is very irritating.

    Would've made sense for the Ornaug mount to swim. I mean, have you ever stopped and watched them in the waters around High Isle? The wild ones are zip zooming and flip flopping all over the place out in the open water.
    ...Meanwhile, ours dissolves as soon as it touches any form of water with a single toe.
