    \$\begingroup\$ Paul, yes, identical creatures share a single turn, acting at the same time. (Silly mobile editing...) I think an important point is that a mount can act "on the turn you mount it." A turn specifically refers to a creature's actions. If a mount moved in a separate turn from the rider, the language would have to read "round" rather than "turn" as it does. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Sep 24, 2015 at 3:31

    \$\begingroup\$ This example above with Applejack is incorrect. Bob doesn't get to direct Applejack's movement the final 50 feet, as Bob already chose to end Applejack's turn and make his attack. Both the controlled mount and the rider have separate turns, per Jeremy Crawford (actually posted below as well). \$\endgroup\$ Commented Mar 19, 2018 at 23:03

    \$\begingroup\$ @SethR.Feldman They have separate but concurrent turns, but neither ends during the others turn. The turns overlap, see here (You could include this link Sebkha) \$\endgroup\$ Commented Mar 21, 2018 at 0:45

    \$\begingroup\$ @Medix2 The key sentence in the controlled mount section is "A controlled mount can move and act even on the turn that you mount it.". This pretty clearly makes it share your turn (as you are mounting the mount on your turn). \$\endgroup\$ Commented Dec 15, 2020 at 13:19

    \$\begingroup\$ @illustro Ah, you could definitely turn that observation into a full answer \$\endgroup\$ Commented Dec 15, 2020 at 18:20
