It's been like that for 2-3 patches at least.
At normal speed it will jump when pressing spacebar but as soon as Sprint kicks in you can't jump anymore.
When your horse learns High Jump then you can jump at sprint speed.
This can't be right; it didn't matter if your horse learned the High Jump or not to be able to jump at any speeds, you only had a bigger jump when High Jump was learned.

As of April 16th patch bug is still in the game.
Also "Streak Leap" is another skill that will allow you to jump. So if you don't have either High Jump or Streak Leap your horse won't jump and to reiterate it wasn't like that 3+ patches ago, like for as long I've been horse training.

As of April 23d update patch, bug is still in the game.
I don't see it in the known issues list.
Can we have more people weigh in wether I'm tripping or not, maybe it's a new feature?
Or maybe this game is truly daed...
Please PA, fix this.
I've been hitting a wall every day for a month or so. Having to slow down beforehand when we've been used to jump with our horses for years is just shocking. And reajusting after meeting face first with a wall or fence is such a hassle.
If it's a bug, fix it.
it's not a bug and it was intended, fire the person who did this and fix the problem he created.
Thank you.
