Yup, Ueda confirmed it in an interview! I believe the PS2 game erroneously refers to her by the wrong gender, so you aren't to blame. The Bluepoint remake fixed this.
It can, but you can spend a vial to immediately summon it again.

I don't like riding horses...
- Thread starter julia crawford
- Start date
Horses are best when they don't control like a horse (ironically enough), but when they have similar physics/way to move like the main character. This might make them look more unrealistic, but far more comfortable to navigate with.
EDIT: Of course, if the point of the game would be to bond with a horse or something, then there are arguments for realistic horse controls to be the better choice. But in abstraction, horses are better when they don't control like horses.

In the 100+ hours I played BOTW, I think I only rode a horse like 2 or 3 times. I just had way more fun gliding and climbing everywhere.
People really liked Agro? Every time I actually needed them they were always on the opposite side of the battlefield. Annoyed me the entire game.
Why is a horse/mount the primary way to traverse every open world game these days? Vehicles are always more fun due speed/physics. Part of the reason why I liked Days Gone was because it was fun to rip around that world on the bike once you upgraded it enough to not worry much about fuel or damage.
There are three things I look for whenever it comes to riding horses in Open World Games.
1) You can do everything you do off the Horse, on the Horse.
2) Instant Summon.
3) Better Mobility
Elden Ring Ring is the only game where I consistently use the Horse for Travel.
People who liked agro are the same people that liked yorda or trico. The fact that they are sometimes a nuisance makes them seem more like a thing with a mind of its own and more endearing in a way. e.g. real pets/children/etc are at times frustrating and yet we still love em.
this magic trick, to your point, isnt going to work on everyone, but for the ones it does work for it can be quite effective
And on top of that, I'm Spanish so I'm used to names ending in -o being male and ones ending in -a being female. :D
Dunno why devs insist on making horses so damn difficult to control. Every game's fast method of transportation should be as easy to control and as convenient as Destiny's Sparrows. They control incredibly well and you can summon them in an instant just about anywhere.
The horse controls are better than average in Elden Ring, but trying to do any tight platforming sucks due to how turning the horse while stationary works. It's not even a more realistic approach, because I'm pretty damn sure that a horse can turn to any angle while standing at the same position.
Breath of the Wild's horse was basically useless due to all of its arbitrary limitations. I'd much rather have the Goron Mask from Majora's Mask back.
Red Dead Redemption 2's horses are expendable and control poorly. But everything in that game is going for realism over enjoyability, so that tracks.
The Witcher 3's horse has fewer limitations than RDR2 and Breath of the Wild's horses, but also probably has worse controls than either of them.

Only thing I dislike about horses in games is sometimes they feel the same speed as walking (looking at you AC Origins/Odyssey while near settlements).
Also Skyrim and Oblivion has molasses horses, Shadowmere or not!

I'd rather have a turbosprint or something. At least in Pokemon Legends Arceus the mounts are near instantaneous.
"AGRO! AGRO! AGRO!"
*Agro neighs in the distance then runs further away*
Imagine if you could do a sidequest in Botw2 where some random people let you keep the weird animals.Or the bear.
It wouldn't be the first time in Zelda where you could call a bear to come help you anyways:
