The splash into the pool below wasn't the fatal blow. Oh no. It was the ensuing tumble over the cascades that did him in.
I've been on my horse when he's fallen off a mountain and I hated to watch the tumbling scenes! They seemed to go on forever and ended only when my broken body finally stopped rolling. I don't get nearly as pissed off when my horse dies now; I'm too lazy to go back & buy another one, so I just resurrect him.

I find it breaks the immersion something awful when you jump on your horse, and bam...third person. I can't understand why they would have changed this, since you could ride a horse first person in Oblivion.
Seconded. That's one thing I find highly annoying. I was also really hoping Bethesda would've figured out a way to let you fight while mounted. It irritates me to have to dismount every time I have to face an enemy. Wish I could just whip out my bow while still mounted & shoot those damned wolves, etc., before they start attacking.
But I still love riding through the countryside and like the fact that horses are able to climb better than my character can.
