The bug
This affects horses, donkeys, mules, magma cubes, slimes, shulkers, and sniffers.
Once horses/slimes/magma cubes/shulkers are in minecarts, it is very difficult to free them, as their hit box is much larger than the minecart. You just end up hitting the horse/slime/magma cube/shulker instead of hitting the minecart.
You can free them by breaking minecart from underneath by making a hole.
How to reproduce
/summon minecart ~ ~ ~ {Passengers:[{id:"horse"}]}
/summon minecart ~ ~ ~ {Passengers:[{id:"shulker"}]}
/summon minecart ~ ~ ~ {Passengers:[{id:"slime",Size:1}]}
/summon minecart ~ ~ ~ {Passengers:[{id:"magma_cube",Size:1}]}
/summon minecart ~ ~ ~ {Passengers:[{id:"sniffer"}]}Linked issues

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
You can run them over an activator rail to dump them out of the cart. I'm not sure there's any way to fix this, except by making their hitboxes arbitrarily smaller.Â
This also affects sniffers since they're now able to enter minecarts. I've updated this ticket accordingly.
This isn't duplicate. This report is about the buggy Horse's hitbox, not the mobs falling into ground.
