You used 4 Move Actions, 1 Standard, and 1 Minor. According to the rules the sequence should of went like this... Horse is knocked prone, Rider is dismounted and within 1 square of the horse, Rider if still in the effect of Icy Terrain is knocked prone, Then at the start of his action he could have 1 move, 1 standard, and 1 minor action. Further more, there is no Ride-by-attack unless specifically given by the mount in their data and usable only if the rider has the feat mounted combat. Spring Attack is also gone as far as I can tell. So even after the knock down save, The mount incurred an Attack of Opportunity that Isdar should of been able to choose to take against either the horse or rider. 4e significantly reduced the effectiveness of mounted combat by reducing the contribution of the mount to the combat. I am a firm believer in the idea of "all mistakes are final" and you are more than welcome to abdicate the rules in your game the way you see fit so I am not pointing this out to change anything. I just want you to realize that this NPC's actions were outside of the rules by a lot so that we can have a baseline of how to handle the situation further.</blockquote>
