===INTRODUCTION===
The world of Sundering Shadows offer a variety of horses and other mounts to
ease your travels.  Travelling by horseback requires less stamina and may
shorten the duration of your trip.  Specially trained war horses and even flying
mounts are available at selected stables.  Visit your local stable-hand today
for a good deal!  Note:  Stables can be found in most major cities and some
rural areas, but the selection varies greatly from city to city.  Should you
already own a mount, this is the polite place to leave it before enjoying a
night at the local inn.

===SKILL: ATHLETICS===
You will need ranks in the skill athletics to properly ride a mount.  War horses
and exotic animals require a higher score than docile horses and ponies.  If you
find that your mount is disobeying your commands or even throwing you off, you
need to increase your athletics skill.  Note:  The area in which the mount is
acquired should give you a good idea of the required skill level.  A horse from
Tabor, for instance, should be suitable for the young adventurer, while an
exotic animal from Azha or Seneca will require the skill of a more seasoned
traveller.

===FLYING MOUNTS===
Flying mounts should only be used by the most experienced riders.  We recommend 
riding the mount along the ground for a while to test your ability before taking
flight.  If your skill level is too low, you might fall off mid-air!  Unless you
have a way to avoid hitting the ground, such a fall may well prove fatal.  Note:
 Mounts can only fly to locations that you have previously remembered.  They
cannot land inside or in areas that have been warded from teleportation.  Please
see [[remember]], [[recall]] and [[unremember]]. 

===COMMANDS===
There are several commands available, listed in [[horses]].  Most require
that you specify which mount you wish to interact with by using its "type (or
ID)" as the target of the command, such as "donkey, "camel", "pegasus" etc.
Horses may have an additional ID like "steed", "mare" or "warhorse" to help you
interact with them. 
 
===DESCRIPTIONS===
Sundering Shadows allows you describe the mounts that you buy, by setting their
short (adjective) and long descriptions (describe). As of now, short and long
descriptions do not save.  We recommend you use an alias to set these more
easily upon login. See [[alias]]. 

Please note: \\ 
Your mount's adjective (name mount) must be RP-appropriate and include the race
and/or type of the animal in question ("pony", "horse", "camel" etc).  While you
may give your mount a name, we prefer that you do not.  "Spot, a spotted pony"
is an ok adjective, but "A brown spotted pony" is better.  Just "Spot" is not
allowed, because passersby cannot identify it as a pony.

As with everything else in game, please use common sense when handling mounts. 
The code may allow you to enter a shop or climb a rope with your horse, but that
does not mean you should.  Likewise, a mount in an inn would likely cause a
stir, an exotic mount in an inn may cause an uproar!
