Just to clarify, I don't recommend (or do myself) for DMs to ALWAYS mess with horse (or mules). I do recommend that DMs be aware of some of the ways in which they can use mounts (or hirelings/retainers/etc) to spice up of boring parts of the story or even add interesting parts to the plot.
It's just another tool for the DM. As with any tool, it should be used for fun, however the table defines that.
Fair enough. Most y’all like that I hear is from DMs that delight in doing stuff like that frequently, brag about their players not trusting anyone or anything, and still somehow have players.
