Also, had you spent more than 5 minutes on Shadow of the Collosus you'd realise that the horse is marvellously implemented and there's not a moment when it doesn't do what it's told and, in fact, it can move about when you're riding without much input from the player which enables you to admire the scenery, stand on its back, track colossi and so on without worrying about the players need to aggressively take control of the horse.
I'm not slagging the idea off per se, I had no issue with the horse in SotC at any point in my wanderings. Which were relatively sizeable as there was a point when I had no idea where to 'trigger' the next collosus so just spent some time exploring the place.
