So if you hold W, it will go from 0% to 100% but you can stop anywhere in between. So you could also go to 60%, press S to decelerate to 45% and then go to cruising speed at 80%.

To increase realism, it would take some time for the mount to accelerate to it's top speed. That makes the horses more like machines than actual animals tbh. I've ridden horses. They can stop and speed up very quickly.

The fact that I thought about incremental speed is because mounts in real life are trained to go at certain different speeds. You're right. How about a combination of our 2 ideas? You could still use W and S as accelerate and decelerate, but you only have 4 different speeds to choose from! So If you want to go from standstill to gallop, you press W 4 times. and then to go from gallop to trot you press S 2 times and so on. I'm not so keen on the acceleration part. I prefer having a button alternate speeds, from which you can just ride your mount normally.
