I think the reasons to make horses generally worse are inadequate and not very compelling. As it is, horses die pretty easily when you are exploring, and learning proper use of them is critical (not banging your head and suffocating, or falling into ravines).

The main issue seems to be finding creative ways to fortify a castle and there are already plenty of ways to do that, but the small chance of finding a high-jumping thoroughbred, in my opinion, makes the game much more interesting and makes horse-taming rewarding, and we all like being rewarded, right? The smallest of chances to get a 5+ block jumping horse in Rohan I couldn't care less about. To me, that's fairly balanced. That's not what we're talking about. We're talking about the fourteen block ones, which aren't as rare as you'd think, and in Rohan above five blocks is actually rather common sadly.
