Actually, this is me sharpening my genre whetstone. I’m writing a book set in a magic school, main character is taking a pegasus-riding class, and its becoming clear that in the climax of the book I’m going to have to describe some very complex aerial horsemanship when I barely understand how a horse thinks.
I’ll have to level with you, horse fiction doesn’t usually accurately portray the way horses think. If you’re going with fictional magical pegasuses I wouldn’t worry about being accurate to real life and just do whatever works for you.
I figured as much, but I thought OP might be looking to recreate the childhood experience.

From my understanding of horses, they don’t think they just fucking R U N. It’s all they know how to do.
Not sure how trained horses act. Probably more D I R E C T E D R U N.
They do think, they just run first lol.
Maybe they can dogfight some Nazgûl on horses.
