Mounts and Surprise Rounds


Rules Questions

Mounts act on the riders initiative.
So what happens on a surprise round and the rider is NOT surprised but the mount IS?

The rider acts normally. They're one unit for all initiative purposes - the mount can't be surprised if the rider isn't, and the mount can't be unsurprised if the rider is.

That's what I'd always assumed until recently when it came up at a table, but I can't find RAW to support that. Can you quote where you are getting that from by chance?
