Stupid Horse Stand Still
by Lothrazar
Stupid Horse Stand Still is a Forge and NeoForge game mechanics mod that makes a saddled horse wait in place once its rider dismounts.
What it does
When a player dismounts a saddled horse, the horse is told to wait and keeps its position. It stays put until its rider mounts it again, at which point it resumes normal behavior. Removing the saddle at any time also releases the horse, so it can wander freely again.
Both the server and every player need the mod, because the waiting state is handled on each side. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge across 10 release versions, 1.12.2 – 26.1.2, and the code is released under the MIT License.
Key features
Horses wait after dismounting
Dismounting a saddled horse leaves it standing where it was, so it does not wander off.
Position is remembered
The horse keeps the spot where its rider got off until the rider returns to it.
Release by removing the saddle
Taking off the saddle at any moment lets the horse move freely again.

What the author says
Dismounting a saddled horse instructs it to wait for you. When you dismount a horse that has a saddle, it remembers what happened and its position, so it will wait until you come back.
