You can mount or dismount as a free action with a successful DC 20 Ride check (known as a Fast

You cannot attempt a fast mount or fast dismount unless you can perform the mount or dismount
as a move action in the current round.
Strapping a shield to your arm to gain its shield bonus to your AC, or unstrapping and dropping a
shield so you can use your shield hand for another purpose, requires a move action. If you have a

with a regular move,
Dropping a carried (but not worn) shield is a free action.

Characters can't make attacks of opportunity, unless they have the Combat Reflexes feat.
Characters with uncanny dodge retain their Dexterity bonus to their AC. (example: high enough
level Rogues or Barbarians).
