==Notes==
Jeran Lockwood:
:Well met, <class>.
:I train Aspirants in the art of mounted close combat.
:Put up Defend and then use Thrust on a Melee Target.
:The Melee Target trains Aspirants in both mounted attacks and defense.
:Approach the Melee Target and strike it with a Thrust attack. The force of the blow often spins the target hard enough to injure you or your mount. This is where defense comes into play.
:Be certain to have at least 1 layer of Defend before attacking the target and continue to stack and refresh Defend throughout the training exercise.
:Otherwise, you may well find yourself dismounted.
:The same holds true in actual mounted combat: Balance attack and defense.
:Thrusting at every opportunity and maintaining your layers of Defend as best you can.
