D&D 5E Rogues are badass mounted combatants...

What gives you advantage on the attack? I'm not seeing anything about that in the mount rules.

AFAICT, nothing makes Rogues better riders than anybody else. Mounts get their own actions, and anyone riding a horse can have it move+disengage for ride-by attacks. Cunning Action gives the rogue a bonus action, but unless you use it to roll off the horse or something I don't see how it does you any good.

Yes, now I think you're right.

The advantage comes from the mounted combatant feat, which I think an lot of posters were assuming due to the thread title.
