Except that his personal actions like skill tests and fighting would NOT be transferable to the horse, so he would eventually need to rest. <br /><br />How about extra penalties for bad weather, lack of food and water? Maybe just "if conditions are bad, double END usage, but if conditions are really terrible double it again". Stuff like armies not marching because the weather really sucks, or being stuck in an area in the winter and suffering casualties even though they aren't doing anything.

It's kinda like a riding skill where you can choose whether incoming damage will hit you or your horse. <br /><br />That way the courier would want to put END on his horse first so he can be in shape if he gets in a fight or has to use his skills. At some point the horse will start getting some movement penalties, so he wants to take some END on himself. Eventually it comes down to who stays conscious so he puts it all on the horse until it's about to die. Now he thinks, should I press on and probably kill this horse and have to walk, or can I afford to rest here?<br /><br />Since the horse recovers END at the same time the rider does, having a horse not only increases your speed and max distance, but your END recovery for the man-horse team. <br /><br />Similarly, if you have a wagon with a load that requires 4 horses, if you put on more horses you get a greater END pool and faster END recovery for the wagon team than if you just had 4.
