The interesting thing, however, is that the mount may not get the point. It's stated under the section on "empathic link" that even intelligent mounts see the world differently and thus might not translate the words the way they were intended. "Misunderstandings are always possible", but "a creature of humanlike intelligence has [an Intelligence] score of at least 3". I would say that 'humanlike' probably denotes an understanding of something more than the command words that pretty much all mounts know and react to.
