COWBOY SKILL: TRICK RIDING
The skill of riding bareback, standing on the animal's back, hanging
from the side or under its belly (usually for rodeo tricks or to hide
from enemies), riding sidesaddle, as well as quick mounts and
dismounts, leaping down on the animal from above or with a running
start, leaping from the back of a horse onto another horse or wagon,
and similar.
Note: Characters without this skill can try any of these tricks,
but must use the second percentage of the associated Horsemanship skill
after reducing it by half. Roll for each attempt. Likewise, these
stunts can be tried while riding mounts other than a horse, but reduce
the skill by half unless the character also has the skill Horsemanship:
Exotic Animals. If trying one of these stunts without this skill and
not on a horse without the Horsemanship: Exotic Animals skill, then the
second percentage is reduced by a half and halved again (effectively
3/4).
Prerequisites: Must have one of the Horsemanship skills.
Base Skill: Equal to the first (larger) Horsemanship skill percentage; roll for each trick/stunt attempt.
Per Experience Level: NA.
