Tell me what you think...
Speeds
Fast Trot = base speed (60 for light horse)
Gallop = Base +10
Sprint = Base +15
All-out = Base +20 (note, only specially trained horses can be spurred to this speed)

Spur 10 12 16 24
Abrupt stop 20 20** 20** 20**
*Use these values for a character pursuing while trying to remain hidden;
However, the maximum speed to stay hidden is the base speed -10
** There is no “abrupt stop” at these speeds, instead the horse slows down
quickly, decelerating 5 points of movement for every success.
***The first turn at these speeds inflicts 1 damage to the horse. Each
additional turn inflicts double the damage of the previous round (2, 4, etc)
! There is a 50% chance the horse falls over, rolling the rider
