According to the entries for horses, unless specifically trained for combat, a horse’s hooves are treated as secondary attacks. What effect does being combat trained have on that attack? Cavalier mounts are always considered combat trained.
And that's the only difference, right?
On the forum overview, it says I've posted in here, but my post appears to be invisible for reasons unknown, so I shall repeat it:
Primary natural attacks add the full Strength bonus to damage rolls. Secondary ones only add half. You can see that with the Heavy Horse's Bite and Hooves attacks. The former has a +5 to damage, the latter only +2.
Ok, so as a combat trained mount, the horse has no penalty on the attack roll for the secondary attack, but does get half str to the damage roll. Got it, thanks.

Not quite. If the horse is combat trained, it has no secondary natural attacks. Both its bite and hooves count as primary ones. And for primary natural attacks, you don't get a penalty on the attack roll and you get full Strength bonus on the damage roll. For secondary natural attacks, you have both a penalty on attacks and lower damage.
No penalty, full damage on both. Thank you. Filling out companion sheets is SUPER hard. It does not help that I can't find one that auto-fills.
Thanks, but I think I finally got it right. And since I already have 3 characters with either a companion or a mount, I am NOT making any more! This is said mount's sheet: Link
