when you ride a horse in water deeper than one block the horse makes a jumping animation and kicks you off. And then it's a problem to get it back to shore

Horses can swim in real life, shouldn't it be accurate that they can also swim in minecraft then? Besides, if you have to leave the mainland, you have to leave your horse behind.
Excuse me? Mainland in Minecraft? Also, they SHOULD make horses swim though they should make them move slowly like the character when swimming so they won't be a replacement to boats

Well let's say you're the horse and I'm riding on top of you. If I force you into water and it covers your head and you start drowning, don't you think you'd try to get me off? This should be marked as intended (which it is as stated in the Wiki).
