At some point in the past, I'd jumped on a horse that was tethered in a camp somewhere and rode it for a while before getting bored of it.
I didn't steal the horse – the name was in white when I jumped on – and now whenever I fast travel to an external location the horse appears next to me. It does, however, immediately start to wander off – presumably back towards the camp I found it at.
How do I get this horse to stop following me?
Preferably without killing it.

The system seems to think that you own the horse now.
Your options are:
Buy your own horse, so that your own horse re-appears instead of that horse.
Load the save file where the horse was not following you yet...
Kill it! Bonus points from me if you do it with falling damage but manage to survive yourself, then it gets killed by accident... :)
