Combat Riding

Hard

Default: Riding.
Prerequisite: Riding; cannot exceed Riding+4.
This technique represents training at riding under
combat conditions. Use it instead of Riding whenev-
er you roll to control your mount in battle. It doesn’t
cover fighting – for that, learn Cavalry Training (see
above) or Mounted Shooting (p. 77) – but where the
rules limit weapon skill to Riding, your limit is
Combat Riding instead. Combat Riding never aids
Riding rolls to mount up, stay mounted, or direct
your mount hands-free – see Hands-Free Riding
(p. 73), Quick Mount (p. 78), and Staying Seated
(p. 81) for those tricks – or for such non-
combat activities as dressage, racing, and travel.
