Make it easy to walk into houses/caves with horses

Just that. If we can walk in either way, why not make it easy?

True the sideways alignment thing is stupid

object controlled objects will fix this, surely

Yes, that's true.
But this "stupidity" can save the life of a person being pursued by a horseman—after all, it's easier to run into a cave or a house on foot than to ride a horse. Lateral alignment can be tied to coaxing the horse into entering or the time it takes to navigate a narrow space.
You can also always tether the horse. There are situations where this is difficult, but in most cases, it's not a problem.

Is something written incorrectly?
It's just what immediately comes to mind when you think about who this change will benefit.

You cannot chase people on horseback, unless they are lacking extreme amounts of game knowledge, in which case they are not capable of escaping regardless of whether or not the horse is in the equation.

Probably so. An experienced player wouldn't have any trouble dismounting and running into the cave. But that's the first thing that came to mind. Perhaps they'll hesitate a bit or jump off the wrong way, and the horse will block the way—that's a chance, however small.

Could you just give some examples of when the change the author suggests is necessary?
I often end up on horseback at home and end up sideways after a couple of tries, but honestly, in this situation, there's nothing stopping you from dismounting and leaving, leading the horse on a rope. "You're a fool for riding a horse around the house."

the change is not necessary, but it would be nice to have a QoL like that

however, i have no clue about how hard that would be to implement, so it comes down to how much time it would take to make this change

au revoir
