Unlike the most recent idea/suggestion on universal mob protection (in terms of legality and all that), this suggestion calls for the invulnerability of horses in private realms--with a few little exceptions.

Just in case you didn't know, horses cannot be rolled back due to a glitch that maximizes all of their stats when rolled back (which produces an illegitimate horse).

My proposal is that until the correction to this glitch is installed (in which horse with armor, saddle, and a nametag can be rolled back) the following suggestion should be implemented as soon as possible*.

Any horse in a private realm should be rendered invulnerable to direct player-induced attacks.

Now of course, if someone were to shove all their horses into a private realm and they aren't secured, someone could still come in and steal the horse (by riding or using a lead), similar any other mob.
Now, to those concerned about secured horses in private realms being permanently invincible if a player quits or is banned, well, that would still follow the realm disbanding rules. 30+ days of inactivity would cause the realm to disband rendering any horses in the realm vulnerable to attack.
In addition, horses in private realms will still be able to die from nonplayer-induced damage such as fire, lava, suffocation, creeper explosions, etc.

Downsides, well, sorry, Intelli, I know this might be a lot of coding for you, and this might prolong the fixation of the glitch too (if it's being worked on), so I know you'll probably vote "no." Apologies in advance.

*when I say "as soon as possible," I mean that the suggestion should be implemented before the glitch is corrected if the correction process takes more than one month (from this post's date).
