Trained a horse, but...

[gandalf.graycloak]

I used common wood doors to my stable and after the pony grew up I pet and fed it. Now when I leave stable (closing doors behind me) the big ol' lummox somehow gets out and appears at the door of my proper house... How do I make sure he doesn't get out of stable? It has an open corral (4x4) out front, penned in by half-height stone walls w/ wood beams.

Tell it to stay

Yes, it's probably set to "follow".

Press and hold the key to access it's menu, and click the ridiculously microscopic box for "stay".

Make sure it's also on "defensive" if it's a terranus (you said horse, I assume you mean the terranus horse/boar hybrid). Terranus are one of the few that will actually fight back. The settings for most other animals is passive with a flee option. If they can't flee, they stand there and die.

Can't see how. I get two options when looking at the mount: Hold E to Examine and X to pet.

If I go in by holding E I get a mount status screen (I've not made a saddle yet) and I don't remember seeing any commands roster or anything.

OK lemme look for that, william_es.

it's on the right side of the mount screen, same screen that shows their inventory. The boxes are teensy tiny.

Found it - yep off to the side and very small.

I think what threw me was catching the pony in the wild, you just look at it then it shows you keys to command it. Then when it's tamed and grown up - different visual behavior.
