Mount Movement and Riding

I know it hasn't been stated/said yet, but I do hope they put into practice mount movement as BDO does it. It's very nice, and very realistic. I know there will be breeding and what not, but I'm hoping that they follow a great system instead of the usual going all out and jumping and then do a complete 180 and go in the opposite direction all with the spin of the ball or a jostle of the mouse. 
Since we are speaking of mounts, has it been said if there will be mounted combat? Can we cast spells, shoot a bow, swipe an enemy with a rapier as we ride past them while on horseback? If so, I could see some epic caravan heists and deterrents if mounted combat is done!

    Would be epic if implemented correctly 
  • They already said in a frequently asked question video that you wont be able to fight on horseback. I forget the exact wording but that was the gist of it.
  • The idea is cool, maybe not on horseback but maybe a special combat mount later for guild wars or so.
  • We will use the mount's abilities during mounted combat rather than character abilities.
    No info on movement.

    You won't be able to use YOUR skills on a mount, but sounds like mounts may have their own.
  • Its time to mount and kill with fire and blade ^^
  • Mounted combat would be an interesting addition although what I'm most excited for are the group mounts added in the backer goals.
