Many members of the animal kingdom have instincts that lead them to be more bark than bite. The lion's mane, the bright stripes of the coral snake, and the antlers of the stag are more often used for show. However, a mount that is not used to fighting could balk or even retreat when faced with a foe capable of dealing it severe damage. As such, the beastmasters train their mounts to be more afraid of painful punishment from their riders than from anything else they might encounter. You must wield a whip or a poker to use this skill.
