Here's what I told my group as the solution...* If the mount is unintelligent and/or under the rider’s control, the mount can only take dash/disengage/dodge on the rider's turn. The rider still has his/her full complement of turns (including their own move - which would be a dismount probably).* If the mount is intelligent and/or not under the rider's control, the mount can do whatever it wants on its own turn. For intelligent creatures, I take this to mean that the mount can either choose to follow the rider's wishes, or not.* A steed summoned for Find Steed is a special case. It is intelligent but specifically under the rider’s control. According to WotC, this means it falls under the rules for a controlled mount. If not ridden, it has normal action options and will obey its master within reason. I am going to limit it to CR ½ creatures and lower. Here’s a list, but there could be others: Axe Beak, Camel, Draft Horse, Elk, Giant Bat (only flying steed here), Giant Goat, Giant Lizard, Giant Sea Horse, Riding Horse, Warhorse, Warhorse Skeleton, Worg. At higher levels, I will allow more advanced steeds: Level 9: (CR 1), Level 13: (CR 2), Level 17: (CR 3)</blockquote>
