Training of mounts by centaurs
Description
Legend has it that a centaur trained horse will only throw a cruel master. Certainly the rapport achieved by centaur and horse makes the training sessions much easier and quicker, and it may be that there is actual communication in some language unknown to members of the biped races, for horses “educated” by centaur trainers are the gentlest and most cooperative mounts to be found.
Numirolakos is probably the best known of the assorted horse training establishments in the Market. It is the only one which exclusively employs centaurs. The basic training course for equines at the school lasts for three months. At that time, the mount is introduced to its prospective rider, and a one month acclimation period begins, after which the steed will usually (95%) accept no other rider.
The regular fee at the school is 500gp to train a horse to basic standards. The fees go up exponentially for “the fancy stuff” (coming when called, battle training, protecting one’s master, etc.).
