what factors in to make a horse rear?

[Torben]

I too often have my champ courser and champ arabian rear trying to run down a single enemy. 

do I have to stay away from high str chars or what makes a man rear a horse?

Polearms with 150 length or more and stab...? Also some poleaxes rear I think...
Dunno all conditions

na i mean a guy.  just a guy.  not a weapon, no one attacking my horse.  a guy standing or running,  i bump him,  he falls down,  and my horse rears.

The game is kind of glitchy atm (has been for ages), might be lag factors and terrain making you lose momentum. I get similar issues on foot on certain terrain, especially when jumping or if you get any contact with other players

Poles of 141+ length don't actually need to get a clean hit btw, glances  or 1 or 0 damage hits seems to rear too so it might not look like you got hit but you did

It often happens with the arabian horse.
I feel like it do particularly on full str, or maybe it has to do with the total weight of the equipment of the player.

doesnt really happen with my mamluk or plated charger

ya full speed courser on plain ground charging down bars in plate armor,  afaik he has 24 str,  and my fucking horse rears.  ahrg.

can also happen if somebody glances your horse from the side

It shoudl just happen if you're too slow as far as I know.
Something like horse HP/Armor could change something though, since heavier horses dun need to be as fast as light ones to bump.

[Torben]

is it the charge value?  cause it never happened with old charge on the courser

It is about your net bump damage, and I believe charge helps a lot more than speed given max speeds nowadays are snail like.

[Torben]

so lets turn this into a buff speed or charge thread

If you go for a bump with champion destrier on 3 enemies who stand in a line your horse will rear up on the last guy and they will kill you. For rouncey it may be even just 2 enemies bumped 1 after another. I guess it may be based on the bump damage of the horse, so cheaper horses that have less bump dmg will get reared on a group of enemies easier.

However this is just what I assumed from my cav experience so this may be only partially correct.

cav     1  2  3
