I've always thought that horse archery is one of the best possible ways to kill orc-scum. However, due to the mount's head always being in the way whichever way you face, you can't shoot at anything below you, as you will hit your mount. This is a shame.





To solve this, I propose that a key could be pressed (or held?) while on horseback which would stop the mount from moving its head with the player's view (E.g. if you look to the left, the horse would still be facing forwards). This would mean that you could face the orcs side-on and shoot them, even if they were below you. This would help a lot, especially with giraffes, where the head is always in the way.

Note: you would still be able to use the arrow keys to move and turn the mount, but it would not be turned by mouse movements. In this way, you would be able to spin full-circle on horse back without changing direction, shooting orcs in every direction.
