Why is my horse unable to walk backwards?

I love the horse riding in this game but for one thing, you cannot get the horse to walk backwards, yet they are able too, you can test this out, stand in front and close to the horse, it will back up, not turn or strafe but actually back up, so why does the S key(pc) cause them to do such an awkward turn?

Because horses were added late into the game development.

Because your character makes the horse awkward.

An odd statement since horses were used in Oblivion, and I cannot imagine it would have taken more than a couple of minutes to implement the reverse animation.

Horses use to be able to walk backwards... then they took an arrow to the knee...

How do you make a horse move backwards when riding it? Tap your heels to make it 'go', pull it's head left and right to turn it... Is moving backwards possible in horse-riding?

Horses really are just a minor side thought in this game unfortunately. They have multitudes of problems, I don't even understand why most people even bother.

Yes, you can make horses go back IRL. It take a bit of training. It's even a dressage move on some levels.
Don't even get me started on how the horses move. Did you look sideways when climbing a steep hill? The front legs...the horror. And the jumping animation...I don't even....speechless.
