Epic Level Handbook
You can ride any mount without penalty (even bareback) and can control any mount in combat.
Prerequisite: Ride 24 ranks
Benefit: You suffer no reduction in rank when riding an unfamiliar mount. You don't take a penalty on Ride checks when riding a mount without a saddle (bareback). You never need to make a Ride check to control a mount in combat (and even controlling a mount not trained for combat doesn't require an action).
Normal: Without this feat, your rank is reduced by 2 or 5 when riding a different mount from what you are familiar with, you take a -5 penalty on Ride checks without a saddle, and you must make a Ride check to control a mount in combat (and controlling a light horse, pony, or heavy horse in combat requires a move-equivalent action).
