Horses have stats if you didn't notice yet. The better the stats the harder it is to get on. Ones with crappy stats don't need any soothing. The ones with great stats need multiple bars. Also for an FYI, the soothing stacks, so even if you only have 1 bar of stamina, you can just keep trying again and again.

And did it really go through a full 3 stamina cirlces? You are mashing the L button to soothe right?

I wasn't mashing it, figured that out later. Now I've got to find a bear again to ride, they kept dying after the 3rd time throwing me off. I was using soothe in a responsible way, not giving the horse arrhythmia by pounding on his neck like a madman :) I was trying to move link with the horse with the analog stick to stay in the saddle, perhaps using less stamina that way staying on longer, yet it was simply a case of mashing the L button, doh!

I got on a deer last night by mashing soothe. Are they supposed to run away as soon as you get off? He seemed to like me, then he ran. Too bad Lynels don't have the soothe option. Nor can you garrote them after you get on, too bad rated E.
