Horse Glitch

I rode my horse into Troy and it said you have now entered protected territory. (I'm not from Troy)

At this point my chat was spammed out with: Entering capital area
You are leaving capital area, you may now build.

During the whole of this I was on my horse was stationary and I was unable to get off via shift. Ten seconds later I end up of the an error code saying: The server has closed. After 3 restarts of my Minecraft I was able to get on but when I got to Troy there was no sign of my horse...

 

If you havent experienced this before - it happens when you ride a horse into a plot where you have no access (the mayor/owner can restrict access to town/plot). You get kicked to /main (same as when you simply walk into the plot) but you dont get dismounted of a horse, so it "pulls" you back and then you get kicked to /main again. This ping-pong results in spamming your chat and crashing/lagging the server, and you cannot do anything - sometimes people from main get kicked to /hub when this happens, followed by a small rollback.

If your horse is unlucky and is located in a plot affected by rollback, it is lost. If your horse is lucky and not affected by a rollback, it can still walk into a restricted plot, so dont try to mount it immediately, but call it by /horse beckon command.

 

OK Thanks for the response, I think my horse has been unlucky but I just wanted to check what had happened.
