Jennet

A smaller-sized palfrey from the southern end of the empire.

Benefit: Allows to travel 42 miles per day, or 5.25 miles per hour.

Normal: Most horses travel only 36 miles per day, or 4.5 miles per hour.

Palfrey

Barding, Large

Barding is a type of armor that covers the head, neck, chest, body, and possibly legs of a horse or other mount. Barding made of medium or heavy armor provides better protection than light barding, but at the expense of speed. Barding can be made of any of the normal types of armor.

Armor for a horse (a Large non-humanoid creature) costs four times as much as human armor (a Medium humanoid creature) and also weighs twice as much.

Flying mounts can’t fly in medium or heavy barding.

Removing and putting on barding takes five times as long as normal armor.

Barding, Medium

Barding is a type of armor that covers the head, neck, chest, body, and possibly legs of a horse or other mount. Barding made of medium or heavy armor provides better protection than light barding, but at the expense of speed. Barding can be made of any of the normal types of armor.

Armor for a medium mount (a Medium non-humanoid creature) costs twice that of human armor (a Medium humanoid creature).

Flying mounts can’t fly in medium or heavy barding.

Removing and putting on barding takes five times as long as normal armor.

Bit and bridle

A bridle is a piece of equipment used to direct a horse. The bridle includes both the headstall that holds a bit that goes in the mouth of a horse, and the reins that are attached to the bit.

Saddle, Military

A military-style saddle braces the rider, providing a +2 circumstance bonus on Ride checks related to staying in the saddle. If the rider is knocked unconscious while in a military saddle, he has a 75% chance to stay in the saddle.

Saddle, Pack

A pack saddle holds gear and supplies, but not a rider. It holds as much gear as the mount can carry.

Saddle, Riding

Riding saddles are the most pervasive type of riding equipment. If the rider is knocked unconscious while in a riding saddle, he has a 50% chance to stay in the saddle.

Saddlebags

These sturdy, weatherproof bags are draped over a saddle to add extra carrying capacity. Each side of a saddlebag can typically carry 20 pounds of items that can fit in the bags. Saddlebags do not increase the amount of weight a mount can carry; they merely give riders a place to stow their equipment.

Animal Supplies

Item	Cost	Weight	Short
Animal Feed	5 cp	10 lbs.	Per day
Stabling for animal	5 sp	—	Per day

Animal Feed

Horses, donkeys, mules, and ponies can graze to sustain themselves when docile, but while traveling it is necessary to provide feed. If you have a riding dog, you have to feed it meat.

Stabling for animal

This is the amount it costs to stable a single creature that is Large or smaller for one day, at a typical stable or hostler. Particularly fancy stables may cost more, and larger or more exotic creatures cost double.
