Of course you could always put it in a corral when you're not using it, and then it won't be able to get away. There are farms & settlements all over with fenced-in paddocks & such.
Was this idea rooted in nostalgia for stupid old movies about pets making cross-country treks to reunite with their masters? Because in reality, you see, I thought that horse thieves really existed, and if horses had a carrier pigeon-quality homing instinct it just doesn't seem like horse thieving would have been a profitable venture. Are you sure you weren't thinking about centaurs when you were thinking about equestrian creatures being able to trace their way back home, and does this mean centaurs are definitely in?
