Why does my horse break the lead I tied him to the rail with?

I always tie my horse up to a rail outside my house, but whenever I come back to him he's wandering around the yard. If I'm lucky the lead broke and I can pick it back up, but often the lead has despawned.

I don't understand why on flat ground the horse wont stay tied to the rail or fence with the lead.

Can someone tell me why this horse always breaks the lead?

It's a common problem sadly i dont think there is a fix for it you just need to wait for the next patch.

here is a forum post about it

Theres really no way to stop it at the moment (its a glitch and it just happens randomly) so I don't take chances and I just put my horses in a small room or even in the house. Monsters have also accidentally killed some of my horses so I just completely avoid leaving them outside unless in a fenced in pasture.

Hope this helps :)

I've determined that in leu of the lead working, just building a fence box with the corners missing does a good enough job of keeping a horse alive and near me :)

Take an Anvil and put a name tag in there. Name it put it on your horse. Give your horse it's saddle and armor or whatever your putting on it. Then rope it. IT should stay now.
