I had thought of that as well, actually. That would mean extra art, 
correct? 

Also, how would melee combat work for a mounted character? Small 
weapons obviously aren't long enough to be used from horseback without 
leaning. You can wield a mace, axe, sword, or polearm from horseback, 
but daggers and derringers wouldn't work. Then again, any character 
rich enough to buy and maintain a horse can afford better weapons.

Also, would an enemy have to kill the horse or dismount the rider by 
force to begin doing serious damage?
