Meant for light warhorses or very mobile mounts, this saddle has very short stirrups that allow the rider to manoeuvre his mount with great flexibility. A character with the Mounted Combat feat gains a +2 on Ride checks meant to avoid damage to the mount and may make a Ride check (DC 15) to stop a charge action and move 20 feet in any direction. However, the rider suffers a -2 circumstance penalty to Ride checks to stay in the saddle when hit in combat.
