Better Horsemanship

The vanilla horsemanship perks often provide small bonuses that are difficult to notice, while mounted combat and long-distance riding can still feel restrictive due to stamina penalties. This mod enhances existing perks to make investing in Horsemanship feel meaningful without changing the core riding system.
