My level 6 paladin just got himself a level 3 warhorse. Help me understand how this works. Please direct me to rules that answer these questions, if they exist. I've been looking, and it seems pretty sparse.
1) Does the horse move on my initiative? Does it take my actions to do things like move, attack, etc.?
2) Does mounted combat confer any bonuses other than those explicitly listed on the warhorse's stat-block?
3) The warhorse has pretty pitiful defenses compared to mine. Is there anything that prevents enemy monsters from simply targeting my mount until it's dead?
4) I have the Mounted Combat feat, and it appears all it does is allow the mount to share some of my skills. Are there any other powers/feats/skills that are mounted combat-centric?
5) The warhorse stat-block says in the description: "Warhorses are muscular and usually clad in protective mail barding." Does this mean that the warhorse stat-block includes barding, and therefore its potential AC is maxed out?
