That Ride skill usage does not say anything about controling your mounts movement and other non-attack actions. It does not say that the move action is not needed to control a Warhorse just that the roll is not needed. It does not actually say anything at all about what type of action or if any action at all is needed to control a Warhorse in combat. I assumed that since it is not stated that you do not need to "Control Mount in Battle" when riding a Warhorse that you still needed to preform an action to do so. And since the base "Control Mount in Battle" action is a move action I thought that using that action on a Warhorse would still be a move action.However you are probably right and they meant for riding a Warhorse in battle to the same a riding one outisde of battle. I do find it odd to state that a "roll" is not needed when what is meant is that the action is not needed.</blockquote>
