==Update by Itsuwari==
Since horses are an important part of the setting, they deserve special treatment. I used the horse stats converted by Dace (from the Errata-thread) and added some special rules. 

'''Rokugani Steed'''
:'''Earth 2''' <small>Stamina 4</small> '''Water 3''' <small>Strength 6</small> '''Fire 1''' <small>Agility 2</small> '''Air 2''' 

:Kick attack (damage): 2k2 (4k2) 
:TN to be Hit: 10 (15 at a gallop) 
:Wounds per wound level: 8 
:Advantages: 2 

'''The Gaijin Riding Horse''' 
:'''Earth 3''' '''Water 3''' <small>Strength 6</small> '''Fire 1''' <small>Agility 2</small> '''Air 2''' 

:Kick attack (damage): 3k2 (6k3) 
:TN to be Hit: 10 (15 at a gallop) 
:Wounds per wound level: 10

'''The Utaku Steed''' 
:'''Earth 3''' '''Water 3''' <small>Strength 6</small> '''Fire 2''' '''Air 2''' 

:Kick attack (damage): 3k3 (6k3) 
:TN to be Hit: 10 (15 at a gallop) 
:Wounds per wound level: 12 
:Advantages: 4 
:'''Special''': While fighting on horseback against infantry, the rider benefits from the bonuses for higher ground. 


An infanterist fighting against a horsed opponent suffers from the minus TN for lower ground. 


A horse may have a number of of advantages, as reflected in the stats. Each advantage may be taken multiple times, the benefits stack. 
:'''Swift''': Works the same way as the fleet advantage in the 3e book. 
:'''Well Trained''': Riders gain one Free Raise with any action that uses the Horsemanship skill. 
:'''Brave''': The animal will not bolt or flee easily. The TN of fear tests is lowered by 5. 
:'''Tough''': +2 wounds per wound level 
:'''Vicious''': All natural attacks recieve a bonus of 1k0 to hit. Any stranger trying to ride the horse recieves a malus of 5 to his horsemanship tests (it is for the GM to decide whom the animal considers a stranger). 
:'''Trained for Combat''': Each time this advantage is selected, choose one of the following: 
:*Bite: An additional bite attack, dice to hit are the same as the kick attack, damage 1k1. This option may be selected only once. 
:*Dodge: The animal’s TN to be hit is increased by 5 
:*Muscles: Increase the animal’s strength by one, add one rolled die to the kicking damage accordingly.
