How do you get an NPC to follow you? Options

Yes, I am very knew to RPG Maker XP and I can't even do my own sprites or scripting, but that is beside the point. I'm making a fan-base game and I would like to know who to get an NPC to follow the main character

The main character touches a horse and wants to lead it in the village, but I don't know how to get it to do that. I hope to get the horse to follow it until a cutscene, but I feel as if this program is too limited for that. Somebody help! I've been trying to get it for like two hours because I'm a total noob.

Since you want it to stop following at a cutscene you'll probably want to use a switch.
Make the horse event - Activated by Action Key
Switch 1 On

Make a new tab that has a custom move route
The move route will be - Move towards player.
When your cutscene is activated Turn Switch 1 off.

On the second tab, I had to change the character actor graphic because I no longer had any control on the character and he was just kinda stuck there. But the horse is still not following me. Are there any scripts that might work?

I have no idea what you did because I just did it in a test project and it worked fine. If you still dont understand by the time I get home from work I'll just make the event and screen shot it for you.

I would make an actor for the horse, use a caterpillar script and then just add the horse to the party. If you dont want a such script trough the game, most of them can be turned off.
