Topic: Animal handling in RMC?

[thrud]

What skill do you use to take care of your horse?
What skill do you use if the horse is scared senseless and bolts at every attemt to come close to it?
How do you calm down a paniking horse?
There is no animal handling in RMC...
Do we use riding, herding, create our own skill (animal handling) or what?

Crafts animal handle?
Could that be a functional suggestion?

For riding animals I would go the easy route and use Riding skill, at least for PC's. There would of course be the occasional stable boy NPC who would have Animal Handling and not Riding. I would treat it as a new skill, with same cost as Animal Healing, Herding or Riding.

For level bonus purposes, treat it as an Outdoor skill, if you use any of the options for level bonuses.
