Limit Horse Wandering Distance

Tamed horses in Minecraft often wander far from where the player dismounts, which can be frustrating as they get lost during exploration. A possible solution could be to limit their wandering to about 20 blocks from the dismount point, similar to how tamed Happy Ghasts in the 1.21.6 update stay within a certain distance and hover nearby after the player dismounts. This would allow horses to move naturally while staying close, making them more reliable without needing leads or fences every time. The change feels simple, realistic, and fitting for vanilla Minecraft.

    I vote for this idea! We need horses to have a roam limit, I've like lost 3 horses in my survival now.

    We need this, I can't find my horse after I left him next to me without looking at him for about 5 minutes
