Battle Bridle

A stampede of horses is depicted charging across this surprisingly light leather saddle.

A battle bridle occupies a mount’s face body slot.

While you are mounted upon a creature that is wearing a battle bridle, you gain a +5 competence bonus on Ride checks and the benefit of the Mounted Combat feat. If you already have Mounted Combat, you instead gain the benefit of Ride-By Attack.

Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, Mounted Combat, Ride-By Attack, calm animals.

Cost to Create: 4,500 gp, 360 XP, 9 days.
