1. Place horses in pen
2. Fly backwards until the pen has unloaded from view & memory
3. Fly back, just like magic they will all have disappeared.
If you exit the game they will save when you relog the game. This also seems to happen with naturally spawning horses. Could not get an error report as it seems F3+C just closes the window down now with no actual report.

No these horses were not tamed. Why would untamed horses despawn though? Untamed wolfs and other passive mobs do not do this.
No they do not, not as (mind blank cannot remember the version!) when the yadded real mob farming passive mobs do not despawn.
Is this supposed to happen with bred horses as well?
When breeding two horses, the foal isn't tamed from the beginning, thus despawning when leaving the chunk.
Is this really intended behaviour?
Having to wait until a foal is fully grown to be able to tame it to prevent loosing it?
happend to me in 1.6.2 without logging off/out. Horse was tamed, got a saddle and golden armor .. all gone!
REALLY frustrating game experience, please fix this!
mobs disappear when leaving chunks sometimes
