Hiya,
I don't like how mounts work in 5e in combat. I'm thinking of this for a houserule. Any feedback?

- Mounts and riders act together on the characters turn
- Mounts and riders share a move speed while the character is mounted
- If untrained in animal handling, a character can choose either their attack action or the mounts attack action on their turn.
- If trained in animal handling, a character can use their attack AND their mounts attack on their turn
- If a mount or rider takes damage, the character must make a dex save at the end of that turn to stay mounted. The DC is the total amount of damage taken that turn. A character has advantage on this check if they are trained in animal handling. If a character falls they take 1d6 damage and are prone.
- If a mount is not naturally agressive or trained for combat, then it must make a morale check at the start of your turn. (DC to be set by DM based on how scary things are). If it fails it either refuses to proceed (Small failure) or flees (Big failure). Roll dex save to stay mounted.
