So I asked for proof, and Funcom gladly sent it to me. From Product Director Jorgen Tharaldsen:Spotted on Massively.
(In order to make [the horse movement] believable, we looked for someone who could help us to make it look as you would expect in a real-life situation, and we found this in a team of crazy British guys who lined up an entire stable and even a stadium for motion capture. As a thank you to the Brits, we naturally had to put the jolly old lance in the game when fighting mounted! I'm not sure if we are the first or only ones to do this, and it really doesn't matter. What I do know is that riding a horse in '˜Conan' looks mighty cool, and even realistic, so as far as we are concerned we reached our goals.)
