Dying horse issue?

[GoreTiger]

My horse keeps randomly dying on me which is getting really annoying and expensive. I've bought two white stallions so far and both have died. I'll enter a building or cave and then come out and they just fall dead. No enemies around. (One died outside the horse stables at the imperial city)
Anyone know why this keeps happening? I'm basically down 9k gold now with those two and their armor.

I would do a quick patrol around to make sure there are no wandering enemies near the interior cell. Time moves on outside so they might be being attacked since you are in an interior the script for them to flee might no be firing off as they are trying to stay near you. Another option is to quarter the world while using the stables near the cities to house your horses while using interior cells. This would make sure there is no way they can be attacked.

Second horse died exactly like that. QT'd to the imperial stables to buy armor, come outside and it just flops down dead right infront of me.

Spawned a horse with console commands to test it, sure enough it still happened.
