If holding a magic pick Axe when mounting tamed horse, the pick disappears forever and the horse screams and dies.

Yesterday it happened holding stone half blocks, also kills horse, did not note if quantity of blocks decreased.

Putting saddle on can do major damage--if the horse has a lot of hearts it may survive.

I have lost three picks this way before figuring the common factor, so it repeats. I found. I thing about disappearing picks with horse loss.

Software always has bugs, and you do very well at fixing these with the rapid advances, but this one is pretty traumatic to the kids. They lose horses they are attached to, they feel they killed it, and the horse scream makes it very heart wrenching. We have stopped playing with horses until there is an update as it messes with them too much. I've experienced the major loss in progress, which sucks, but this horse thing makes the kids have nightmares! Lol--nightmares over pixelated horses, keep up the good work there.
