Have you ever ridden a horse, or had a chance to pet it? Horses are really beautiful, graceful, and kind animals. They love humans as much as we love them. Now this beautiful horse can become your new mouse cursor.
Then the workaround I have found is to either stop moving completely for a second or to move my cursor back around the back of my character and then back to the direction I want to go, essentially making my horse do a little loop and then go the direction I want to go.

The mount system in D4 is trash. How did you guys miss the mark so bad? When I mount up, my horse must first show off his Tennessee walking horse ability by prancing in place. Then I have to turn him in a circle, like he has some weird OCD ritual before he will work right.
1. you can toggle your horse from a slow walk (recommended in town) to a trot. Then to full a full sprint. Many of us already know to press A (for XB1) in time with your horses gallop to use less stamina. It looks like this:
3. When taming a new horse, ensure you stay with it at all times. Instruct your main horse to follow you and never leave the new horse behind. I have a tendency to find a new mount while hunting, and it comes in handy to have two horses (side note: each horse can carry 1 large animal like a deer/pronghorn, and 2 small animals such as a rabbit/duck). 2 horses are great when you are out hunting, but they are difficult to control. Your new horse will run off if you do not get your bonding level to 1 and you wander off from it (or it is scared off).
5. Feed your horse often to ensure it stays at a proper weight. If you are on a main story quest, it's a good thing to fortify your horses stamina; good chance you're going to need to make a heck of a break for it.
11. When you think you're going to be in a firefight, or you're unexpectedly jumped by rival gangs, sprint through the contact, find a place to put your four legged friend, and then take cover and return fire if you are going to fight. Personally, I recommend breaking contact and sprinting through ambushes. That said, DO NOT return to your camp. You've likely figured this out if you've been playing over the past week. This way, your horse doesn't turn into your cover and become a bullet cushion.

Just a correction...... If you time the button taps right, your horse will not lose any stamina while in a full gallop. It won't gain any but it won't lose any either. Not an easy thing to do to get it perfect (I tend to skip a beat here and there myself) but it does work as the tip in the game mentions.
As for ambushes, learn to slow down when you're on the road approaching a line of trees, large boulders, a covered bridge, etc. Particularly any place that appears to be a chokepoint or, well, a place you might abush someone yourself. I always get my weapons ready and listen. If you trot toward and ambush you can usually hear the attackers say something before they pop out into the open. ....something like "here he comes", etc. Dialogue you would otherwise miss if you're galloping through.
When confronted, I will usually just plow through as JD mentioned or even take a few shots before I do to thin their numbers. I will sometimes even turn around and retreat once I hear them talking before they can get the jump on me. If it's a region with good cover and depending if they are on foot or horseback, I might ride ahead and find a boulder, large tree, etc. where I can dismount and take cover (giving me the edge on the advancing enemy). When they are on horseback, I dodge them through trees and obstacles that will make it difficult for them to negotiate through or around. Sometimes they will spread out enough where I can turn around and take them on more easily. I adapt to what is available to me at the time.
Without giving away any spoilers, I almost lost my horse and my life in a particular region of "hillbillies" where I was ambushed repeatedly in the backwoods. I had to stop and fight a number of times, seeking high ground where possible to give myself an advantage. Luckily I made it through but I had doubts I would get out of the region without at least me dying once.
I nearly lost my horse again last night after pissing off local law enforcement in a large, busy town. I escaped the "red circle" but my horse had taken damage and had nothing left so I parked him and ran into a train yard hiding from cover to cover until the police stopped searching. I was literally surrounded but luckily the search timer ran out as I hid behind some crates.
I guess the point is that these things are survivable if you simply use some finesse and strategy rather than try to hamfist your way through the game. This game rewards the former and punishes the latter.
......and for Pete's sake, use the manual save option. Accidents and unexpected events happen. Some folks are treating the autosave like a death sentence. Perform a manual save periodically and at certain significant milestones (after difficult missions, encounters, after obtaining a large amount of cash, goods, etc.). It only takes a moment and even if it sets you back a bit, it's better than permanently losing a really good horse, your funds, etc.. You also have the option to either use the save or not (if you prefer to allow events unfold as they may).
If you're using multiple horses, it's usually best to ride the new one and let your primary follow, it continues to build a relationship with your new horse - don't forget to load up on weapons before you do this, and whistle for your primary horse often so it keeps following and you don't leave it somewhere.
I agree with one of the poster's above that it's best to leave the horse during engagements and find cover, then whistle for the horse, mount, and run as needed to avoid having your horse shot out from under you. That said, there are also strategies that can be very effective from horseback - like using a sawed off shotgun and using your horse to close quickly and drive right into the middle of a crowd of enemy. The sawed off shotgun does wonders at such close range, many headless bodies can result in a very short time.
If you get separated from your horse, at a close distance, say for example you slide down a hill and your horse won't follow after repeated whistling even when it can hear you, simply set up camp and magically it will be beside you. Useful if you end up on the bottom of a cliff, on the other side of a body of water that you can't cross, a chasm, etc. This "trick" (cheat) saved me a huge amount of walking to regain my horse in the mountains after I slipped once.
Once I adjusted to it, I never, ever, let my horse get to far from me. To the point that I have begun to figure out if I am going to get into a firefight, I position my four legged friend not only to be safe but also in a spot that can give me a solid get away.

Using you own quote, no, you dont actually explain how this works, just how it should look. Do we press the button 1 time to advance to every part of the sequence? Do we hold the button down to start going up through the sequence? Do we keep pressing the button until we get to the final sequence? 152ee80cbc
