Better Horse Steering improves the way players control horses and other rideable land mobs, making their movement feel more like driving a car.
In vanilla Minecraft, riding horses feels boring, stiff and hard to control, the horse always look at the same direction as the player, and right/left movements are so bad. This mod changes the steering mechanics.

- Ctrl → Sprint
Instead of instantly changing the horse direction where the player is looking, now it rotates gradually, creating a more realistic and controlled riding experience.
