[APG] Ride Them Down missing text?

It seems that this ability is missing text, if you compare it with how the other abilities are written:

Quote:
Ride Them Down (Ex): At 15th level, can spur his mount on while readying an attack...

a roughrider seems to be missing text between the bold words, right?

Not really. If it follows directly after the subject matter, then no, the wording is correct grammatically speaking. But then again, I'm not english major. :D

I am not saying that phrase is illegal or anything - just that it is inconsistent with all the other definitions of Abilities of the Roughrider...

Another example of inconsistency is the use of "Steed" for the last ability, yet all the previous ones used "Mount"...

Uh... I`m pretty sure you`re still supposed to use a pronoun like `he`, `they`, etc, when starting a new sentence. If it was an extention of a previous clause (e.g. The roughrider`s skill with horses is amazing, he can ride the wildest stallions, and at 15th level can...) that is one thing, but this is clearly a competely different sentence with no sequential relationship to the previous sentence:

Relentless Steed (Ex)
At 11th level, a roughrider’s mount does not reduce its speed when wearing heavy barding or carrying a heavy load. The roughrider may also reroll a Ride skill check or a saving throw made by the mount once per day, but must use the second roll even if it is worse. This ability may be used one additional time per day for every four levels beyond 11th.
This ability replaces Armor Training 3.

Ride Them Down (Ex)
At 15th level, can spur his mount on while readying an attack. (...)
