[QUOTE="Nytmare, post: 7433750, member: 55178"] I went back and forth over that sentence a bunch trying to find the right way to phrase it. When you've got the reins you have the ability (you don't always need to do it) to move the horse's head which makes the horse want to go wherever it's head is pointing. When you're steering with your legs it's way more of a suggestion to the horse, and (with at least the way that I was riding) a lot of relying on the fact that you've gone through these moves a bunch of times before and the horse remembers and wants to play along with you. That being said, my old troupe also had it's share of horses who would either remember and decide NOT to play along every once in a while or who were just too dumb to pick up on it. Not that it matters much in the grand scheme of this conversation, and I'm not sure from what you wrote if this is something you're familiar with, but there are lots and lots of different training styles. I'm not sure what medieval war horses (or their D&D equivalent) would have been trained in, but I'd imagine that a stock off the shelf warhorse would be more along the lines of a "trained to run on top of and stomp the crap out of whoever is in front of you" instead of a well mannered "trained to play along with the nice friendly man who is sitting on your back and gives you apples."
