 === Binding Wounds ===
-Similar to the sage ability [[Binding Wounds (sage ability)|described for human combatants]], this skill allows for the character to stauch the flow of blood resulting from a [[Wounds|wound]], the sort that might be gotten in battle or an accident.  This is something that cannot be done effectively by an unskilled character, so that in battle most horses who are wounded ultimately die.  However, characters with this sage ability can succeed in binding a horse's wound in 3 combat rounds, ending the loss of hit points as soon as the binding begins.

 '''Injuries''' may be healed in a similar manner to that described by aid rest above, but only so long as the horse was sheltered in a barn.  Healing of injuries cannot be accomplished in the outdoors.  Whereas for humans, 10 h.p. of healing can restore 1 point of injury, these are much more serious for a horse — thus double the amount of healing, or 20 h.p. per point of injury, is necessary.
-'''Disease''' is another matter entirely.  Most diseases last weeks or months, and this is no different for horses.  '''''At the time of this passage, insufficient rules exist for the resolving of diseases, and so further comment here must wait until those rules have been updated'''''.

 This provides expert care and attention to a horse's [[Healing|recovery]] of lost [[Hit Points|hit points]] (h.p.) through adjustments to nutritional needs, poultices, massage and other forms of therapy.  Normally, a horse heals at a rate of 1 h.p. per day; through use of this ability, the character can increase this to a pace equal to the animal's [[Hit Dice|hit dice]] (HD) — so that a horse with 2 HD would heal at a rate of 2 h.p. per day.  Further, if the horse is sheltered in a barn, this benefit is further increased by +2 additional hit points each day, until the horse has fully regained it's vitality.

 :* '''Aid rest''': improves the [[Healing|restoration]] of hit points lost to horses that have [[Rest (healing)|rested]]. Up to one horse can be aided per 5 knowledge points possessed by the character. Thus a character with 37 points could help up to 7 horses. Each horse attended with this skill will heal as though possessing 2 [[Hit Dice|hit dice]] higher, with an increase of 2 additional hit points healed per day of rest.
