  • \$\begingroup\$ Maybe the answer could be made a little clearer by explaining that both you and your mount can take the Dodge action at the same time and then each would gain the benefit? Also by interpreting the rules in the way this answer suggests, it means that you should always have your mount using the Dodge action whenever you are fighting in melee, is that right? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jun 21, 2015 at 19:46
  • \$\begingroup\$ You have three real options for your mount while in melee combat. There's the dodge action, which you mentioned. You can also let it act independently, in which case the DM decides what it does (a riding horse might get nervous and disengage from combat, while a warhorse would probably fight), or you can have it disengage, and then perform hit-and-run attacks. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jun 21, 2015 at 21:22
