Rear Kick

This mount can kick with its hind feet as long as it is stationary as a standard action once per round. This single attack is at +1 to hit and does 2d8 + the Strength bonus of the mount. Additionally, the target of a successful Rear Kick must make a Fort Save at DC 15 + the Str bonus of the mount. Creatures medium sized or smaller would be knocked back one square and prone, larger creatures are knocked back three squares.

A rear kick by an animal without this feat is a full round action and cannot be initiated by its rider unless it is a trained trick as described by the Handle Animal skill. Normally, a horse kicks because it is frightened, in pain, or feels crowded from behind.
