The Witcher 3 takes place in a magical fantasy world, but that's no excuse for horses to disobey the laws of physics. The Witcher 3's Update 1.07, which rolled out over the weekend, should finally put an end to the non-Newtonian antics of Roach and others. From the official changelog:
"Fixes an issue where in certain circumstances gravity ceased to apply to the player's horse."
Of course, the update has a few other updates too, like adding an alternative movement style which should mean less accidentally flinging Geralt off cliffs, and a stash system to let you clear out your inventory. But more importantly, it fixes an issue where Roach would occasionally not fall to the ground properly, and one that would make him come to a full stop before going through narrow passages, and another where he'd refuse to show up after you complete the Fencing Lessons quest.
