Acrobatic and Athletic individuals can do better tricks, while a person with a naturally high Intimidate score knows how to burst into the town looking like a bad-ass. A person with great Endurance simply fares better on a ride over rough terrain without getting 'horseback thighs'Considering that earlier versions of d20 assume that highly dextrous scoundrels are great with piloting a starship, it's not much of a stretch to say that whatever you're already good at, should be used in the context of what you're going to attempt with a horse.</blockquote>
