 '''Warhorse Training''' is an [[Knowledge Points|authority]]-status [[Sage Ability|sage ability]] in the [[Sage Study|study]] of [[Horseback Riding (sage study)|Horseback Riding]], enabling the character to train worthy horses for use in combat.  Training a horse for war is the skilled practice of conditioning the animal to remain calm and obedient amid violent conflict. The horse must be hardened to the presence of clashing weapons, shouting, blood, sudden movements and the weight of a fully-armoured rider.

+'''Warhorse Training''' is an [[Knowledge Points|authority]]-status [[Sage Ability|sage ability]] in the [[Sage Study|study]] of [[Horseback Riding (sage study)|Horseback Riding]], enabling the character to train worthy horses for use in combat.  Training a horse for war is the skilled practice of conditioning the animal to remain calm and obedient amid violent conflict. The horse must be hardened to the presence of clashing weapons, shouting, blood, sudden movements and the weight of a fully-armoured rider.
-Before a [[Horse (domestic)|horse]] can be trained for war, it must be judged upon its mass and its strength. Warhorses are trained from [[Animal|animals]] that have been [[Horse Breeding (sage ability)|bred for greater weight and courage]]. Of these, only 6 in 16 will be strong enough. Therefore it is important when selecting a horse for training that the horse be examined. Most warhorses were bred to be of a certain weight and strength, to ensure that good stock was available.
+The training process requires time, discipline and repeated exposure to stress-inducing conditions. A warhorse must learn to withstand shouted commands, clanging weapons, flashing movement, dense formations, fire, [[Wound|wounds]] and the scent of blood. Training includes mock combat, introduction to loud noises, sudden movements and weight acclimation to fully armoured riders. Mounts must become accustomed to remaining steady while weapons are swung from the saddle, and to recover from momentary panic without fleeing or rearing.
-Inherent in the study of training horse is the ability to make the animal manageable by characters in the midst of battle, so that the horse does not easily shy from conflict, is less likely to break when [[Charging|charging]] or is otherwise able to support a combatant in full [[Armour List|armour]] with weapons.
+== Breeding ==
-A horse that has been trained to be a warhorse will nevertheless have a [[Morale|morale]] of 9 at the start of its association with battle. Like any other "[[Follower|follower]]," it must make its morale checks if it is injured or otherwise challenged on the battlefield. A horse with an excellent morale will be a dangerous mount when employed in charges and melee, as it is unlikely to break before the hit.
