Just as long as they control better I'm happy. RDR set some standards.
Ah, and I was wishing for more vicious ponies who would kick you off the saddle if they get scared and run away, and stuff :bonk: you know, real pony stuff, not wanting to walk somewhere and stopping at will and such

"Oh great, the stupid pony ran away, now I have to walk off this desert alone!"

It would add to the realism a lot

and maybe a horsemanship added to the statuses as well, determinating how well you cope with the 4-legged friends.
