Legendary Rider [Epic]

You can ride a mount in combat with ease, even bareback.

Prerequisite: Ride 24 ranks.

Benefit: You don’t take a penalty on Ride checks when riding a mount without a saddle (bareback). You never need to make a Ride check to control a mount in combat (and even controlling a mount not trained for combat doesn’t require an action).

Normal: Without this feat, you take a –⁠5 penalty on Ride checks without a saddle, and you must make a Ride check to control a mount in combat (and controlling a mount not trained for combat requires a move action).
