I am thinking about having a chase scene in one of my games soon where the players will be riding animals in a chase against agents of the empire. But I have noticed there is not an animal handling type skill check like there is in D&D 5th edition. Can someone help me figure out which skill the players should use when rolling dice to make skill checks? Thanks for your help!

Survival.

Quote

Survival governs a character's ability to handle domesticated animals, so that they may be used as beasts of burden or as transport.

Any CRB, skill section.

Per EOTE Core pg 119, the PCs would make a Survival check to handle an animal in such a way.

They basically share vehicle/chase mechanics, with beasts having a speed equal to half their agility rounded up, and handling of their agility minus willpower and silhouette.

Age of Rebellion's Stay on Target has a great 3 pages on beast riding/training rules, and 6 and a half pages filled with different riding beasts. I'd definitely check it out if you're interested .

I believe survival is the skill related to riding animals.

Thank you all for your help. And thank you for pointing out the Stay on Target book.
