Unconscious Control: As a
free action, the character can attempt to control a
light horse, pony, or heavy horse while in combat. If the character fails, he or she controls the
mount as a move-equivalent action. A character does not need to roll for warhorses or warponies.
Attack from Cover: The character can react instantly to drop down and hang alongside his or her
mount, using it as one-half
cover. The character can attack and cast spells while using his or her
mount as
cover without penalty. If the character fails, he or she doesn't get the
cover benefit.
