Please revert Horse Mount animation changes

I log in today and notice that some of my favorite mounts (Forsaken Warhorses, Argent Warhorse, etc) now run identical to the way Talbuk's run. This running animation isn't natural and is the sole reason I never ride the Talbuk mounts. Now this horrible animation has been carried over to seemingly every horse mount (and possibly the wyvern mounts) for some illogical reason, considering their old animations were far better.

Please revert this change. Post if you agree/disagree, with your opinions on the matter.

The change in movement of the rider on some mounts is the result of a bug introduced with 4.1.

It will be fixed in a future patch.
