In general, a riding warrior is capable of faster movement than one on the
ground. Even with heavy armour and weapons, they can move in and out of their
pedestrian opponents, striking and evading at will. This skill aids the
control a mounted combatant has over their mount, allowing for tighter turns
and quicker escapes. In practice, it allows an experienced user to strike at
opponents in the rear protected ranks of a group. Higher skill allows more
targets to be attacked, but it should be noted that small parties defend
themselves better against this sort of attack than larger ones. This skill
also enables a rider to strike from further back in the party, assuming they
are along one side of the party and not trapped in the center.
