   * A riding horse, mule, pony or draft horse must make a morale check before closing with an enemy and every round of combat to avoid bolting away from the fight.  These mounts will only attack if they are attacked, cannot flee, and have no rider.
   * A warhorse will attack with its hooves (trample) when the rider makes a charge, and will strike out with its hooves any combat round when it does not move.
+  * Mounting a horse takes a full turn's action. Dismounting from a horse takes a move action.  You can attempt to mount or dismount from a horse as a quick action, but must make a Riding or Acrobatics check.  If you fail the check you fall prone and forfeit the rest of your turn.
 ==== Tactical Advantages ====
   * A prone target is attacked with advantage in melee, but with disadvantage in ranged combat.
+  * Getting up from a prone position, while carrying combat arms, takes an entire turn's actions. If one leaves one's weapons/shield on the ground, it only takes an active action.  You can attempt to leap to one's feet fully armed as a quick action, but must make an Acrobatics check; but if you fail, you forfeit your turn and remain prone.
   * An unconscious or incapacitated target is hit automatically in melee (not ranged)
   * 2 or more attackers gain advantage if they attack a lone footman.
