Or you can just use Intimidate and/or the Grapple manoeuvre to handle the animal. Of course putting your faithful steed in a rear naked choke while shouting profanities at it and its ancestry may make out-of-rage skill checks harder ...
Two other ideas: one, give it orders before you go into rage. It could be told to defend, or offend, whichever. The other? Make it smart. Once it hits Int 3, you just tell it what to do and it (has a chance to) obey (depending on its mood).
