MC-14975Despawning of horses.
Its plain and simple the tamed horse de-spawned.
I was hoping it wouldn't de-spawn.
It despawned.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tame a horse
2. Get off of the game or unload the chunk
3. May or may not cause de-spawning of horse

This has been fixed in snapshot 13w18.
This isn't fixed (anymore).
It just happened to me in a Superflat world in Creative mode.
I had a tamed horse tied to a fence post with a lead. I flew far enough away so that the area where the horse was tied was out of my render distance. When I came back, the horse and lead were gone, leaving only the fence post.
I went further than the distance I went today in 1.6.1 and the horse was still there when I got back. This means it was unfixed in 1.6.2.
Mods, please attempt to reproduce in 1.6.2 and reopen this issue.
I just realized something I forgot to mention:
The horse that despawned was named with a name tag. Anything named with a name tag SHOULD NOT despawn, but it did anyway!
This "despawning" happened to me yesterday on an SMP server. Tied donkey to post, slept to make night pass faster (about 20 blocks away), donkey was gone along with saddle and contents of chest. The rope appeared to be still wrapped around the post, but when I right clicked it, it just vanished, dropping no rope and releasing no donkey.
No portals anywhere in that chunk. It was in a village that I have protected enough that I've not seen any weird intrusions in. Oddly, I do see baby villagers all the time even though I've added no doors in a long time. Any weird "villager drowning in the well" bug shouldn't have touched a donkey tied to the post, however.
I had a whole herd of tamed horses just disappear, several with armor. Probably five were attached to posts. Most were inside a fenced area. Two donkeys disappeared as well. All leads disappeared. They were there last time I was in the chunks. I came back from a trip via nether portal and they were all gone, every single horse and donkey in the area. More than a little disappointing.
I was playing 1.6.2, which I have been playing since it was release, without issue.
My horse despawned. It was named too. Not sure when it despawned but I am pretty sure it was after the most recent patch because I didn't start my village until after that and it vanished some time after that point. I have been working about 140+ blocks away creating my own village and at some point during that time a horse I had used a nametag on it has despawned.
It was not the first Horse to despawn. The previous Horse despawned before the 1.6.2 update
I have a large pen with 4 horses. Two were named. Now only one of the named ones remain.
I play on a single player Survival game with no mods.
Do you think they may have glitched into a wall and suffocated?
I don't think so. I use a double row of fences at a single height level. The outside of the pen has a cobblestone wall (not block) a couple blocks away but it is open on both sides so I dont see how they could have glitched through a double fence and past the open block to die inside something. There are no solid blocks at height for the horses to suffocate unless it fell through the ground.
I made the pen large enough for 4, the horses rarely bump into each other and I never see them all at the same spot.
I am playing in single player un-modded Survival Mode. I had a horse despawn inside my barn after I left the area and then returned. It was a single block wall of wool and glass that it would have had to glitch through. Only other option is that it made it through two sets of closed wooden doors. Five other horses in the barn were still there, but they were from a different original mob. Only my buckskin disappeared. This is very disappointing. Any suggestions? Thanks!
This bug is still present in 1.8 Pre-release 2.
I had 7 horses, all fenced in and all had name tags. Somehow 2 of them are gone. Playing multi player survival.
@Nicole Summerfield: Can you upload a screenshot of your pen for reference?
All sorts of name tagged animals, vanishing on and off despite my best efforts to contain them and follow all steps. Please fix this as it is incredibly irritating to keep having to breed horses and round up sheep for them to just despawn.
