Faithful Steed and starting equipment

[Mortium]

Does the faithful steed feat come with any gear like a saddle, bit & bridle, saddle bags, barding?

[NorrKnekten]

It does not, You would need to purchase a Tack to ride it.
Barding and saddlebags are separate.

Personally I feel like the price for Tack can be handwaived by GM should they choose to, But barding and saddlebags I would require players to purchase.
