  in the Maure School of Horsemanship document for details. 
   
  These skill bonuses increase by an additional +1 at the end of each year of your membership in the school, until they reach a maximum bonus of +4. If you are a paladin riding your bonded mount, you receive an 
  additional +2 circumstance bonus to Animal Empathy, Handle Animal, Heal, and Ride skill checks pertaining to your bonded mount and your bonded mount gains a similar +2 circumstance bonus to Balance, Climb, 
  Jump, and Swim skill checks if you are able to guide it through the environment that requires the check.

  expend any or all of the banked Ducal Gu ard time units towards the initial eight time unit expenditure. If the character cannot afford the 200gp fee, additional time units

  cost is required for these time units.
