Golden Apple

I don't know abut the golden apple, but I do think it should be easier to heal your horse.

 

Rifles already one shot horses half the time and horse pvp is ping dependant. I don't think this is needed at all. -1

 

Encourage horse PVP? I would rather mine trees then do that. -1

 

I think regular apples are enough to heal your horse. -1

 

Not a fan of horse pvp as like stated above it depends heavily on ping.

-1 sorry.

 

Because the horses lag all over the place. It's very hard to know where the horse actually is on both people's screens as it differs a lot.

 

Not worth it, I've had the same 7 horses (None of the three special) practically the whole time I've played. If your horse is getting killed more often, I suggest being smarter about sending it to the stable. *this is by no means calling anyone out, just simply my opinion*

 

This is true, but I believe that if your horse is bound to die in combat, it will. Your going to need to watch your horse and yourselves health, plus take care of both and fight the guy. When it comes down to it, you're going to end up caring about your survival more than the horses. Now take into account these situations;
Your using a one of the 3 premium horses. These horses respawn, It takes a while, but they do.
You're using the 2.5k 0.35 speed horse. It's only 2.5k, I don't think it takes a lot of time to make the money back to buy another though it may be an inconvenience.
I understand the relevance this may have, but in my opinion this is something thats going to die out pretty fast. *cough cough * antiseptics
Really pvp is about your survival, especially in team vs team combat. I personally don't want to worry about me and my horse.
I could see why others would. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad idea.
