The Bug
When a horse without a saddle is mounted by the player in water, they float.

The horse continued to float, even when mounted by the player.

Hey there! Please could you provide some additional screenshots or videos of this issue occurring whilst the F3 Debug screen is enabled. This would help me, along with others, determine what the problem is. Thanks!
Video added. Version impacted updated.
Thanks for attaching the requested information and with that being said, I can confirm that this is an issue. Also affects 20w51a.
Can confirm in 21w03a.
Horses wouldn't sink on their own. They ignore player commands when they're being ridden without a saddle. Why should they sink?
While the consistent thing might be to assume the untamed/wild horse doesn't sink simply because the player is riding it when it doesn't sink with the player not riding it, the argument could also be made that the player's "weight" in a sense is what makes the horse sink when it does have a saddle.
I would imagine the most logical thing is to decide why the horse sinks, before deciding what should come after.
Can confirm in 23w51b.
