My horse's name is Leeroy Jenkins

Me: "Okay Horsey, I'm gonna go fight those bad guys. You wait way back here so you don't get killed."

(dismounts horse)

Clash! Bang! Zap! One down, 4 to ...

Horse: "LEEEEEERROOOOOOY JEEEEENNNKKIIINNNNNNSSS!"

Blam! Horsey's dead...

----------------------

Ok seriously now...

Why don't we have the ability to say, tie the horse up to a tree? How about simple commands like "Stay"?

I'm really just looking for a way to stop my horse from charging into battle all the time because frankly he stinks at combat. It's very annoying to have to stop way short of my objective to "park the horse" and then proceed on foot all the time. Ambush on the trail? Ride away, get off, then run back to the ambush to fight. Only make sure you ride FAR away, because horsey likes to follow you. One time he ran up a mountainside to attack a Dragon...

Alternately - Make horsey always run from battle? "Every horse for himself!" and he runs away? Maybe we talk to the stablehand who offers to "train" your horse for Combat or Survival?

Alternately #2 - Horse Armor?
