Updated description by GoldenHelmet:
Expected result:
If you exit Minecraft while riding an entity, you would still be riding that entity when you reload the world. If Minecraft closes without the using the "save & quit" option to exit the world first, the auto-save function would preserve the entity you are riding.
Observed result:
If you are riding an entity and exit Minecraft without using the "save & quit" function–whether intentionally or due to a crash, OS event, or network event beyond your control–the entity you were riding will often be gone when you reopen the world.
Steps to reproduce:
Ride an entity.
Wait long enough for an auto-save to occur. (30 seconds seems to be enough.)
Travel some distance after the last auto-save. In the attached test world,
, travel from one end of the track (in minecart) or canal (in boat), or about twice as far on the horse if it is a fast one.
Close Minecraft without using the “save & quit” function. (I used Alt-F4 in Windows 10.)
Reload Minecraft and reopen the world.
Original description:
When you save and quit while on a horse, when you log back in, the horse is gone.

I have reproduced this bug in the attached test world riding a horse, minecart, and boat:
[media]and updated the description and confirmation status accordingly. A couple of notes:
While testing with a boat in an infinite non-flat world I occasionally found the boat back at the location of the last “save & quit,” but most times it was just gone.
Examining the world save in MCCToolchest revealed that before reopening a world in which the ride would be missing, the NBT data of the player showed a RideID, but the entity that was ridden did not exist in the world save. This shows that the bug is occurring with the save process, which fits what was found in the Java instance of this bug I linked in my previous comment.
Evidently there was an earlier attempt to fix this issue with MCPE-17788. Either that fix was not complete or it was undone at some point.
Also have this issue. Playing multiplayer with a mate (I'm on switch she's on PS4). In her own game and in our multiplayer game we had an issue where the game will freeze, coordinates go haywire and suddenly it crashes and we are transported across the map. When we return to where we glitched out, our horses were gone. Very frustrating as we are now stranded in the middle of no where. Please fix quick!
Just lost an "entity" in my 1.17.11 Realm world. I´m using an addon named "Old Style Ferry", by creator @ivon852, wich adds two new entities (small ferry boat and large ferry boat). It works perfectly in all versions and devices, no glitches so far. But last night I saved the world while riding the boat, and when I logged back today, the boat just disappeared, leaving me floating in the middle of the ocean. As these ferries have a chest included, like a llama or donkey, lost all the itens stored in it. Restored from the backup and tried to save and log back again, and this time nothing happened. Lost some 2 hours of play because of that.
Playing on a Realm with friends using Windows 10, iOS and Switch. Have had several minecarts and horses disappear. Super annoying. Game breaking even. It makes me annoyed that I have to pay for an experience to play cross device with my friends and family but have such a huge flaw!
The same bug occurred in Java Edition and was fixed some time ago. See MC-47508 and especially the code analysis in this comment.
