A quick and easy script, press Ctrl+J to rear. It can be modified to work in multiplayer, although I'm sure people will spam it more than necessary. It is not recommended for implementation for the AI, since additional logic loops are required for them and they get stuck and rear in the worst places. For converting this script to multiplayer, I recommend adding an additional agent slot to track the cooldown, and possibly some other animations as well so it can be distinguished from normal rears.
It does require some stats-tracking, namely the charge and base health of the horses (a script is included for Native items, but you can generate the slot value automatically).
Other than the condition that the player is alive and mounted, there are no other checks. Animation checks might be appropriate to make sure the horse isn't jumping, but the cooldown period between rears is good enough for now. The code is heavily commented for debugging purposes, but basically health increases the damage done and the speed at which the horse is travelling at affects the radius of the knockdown effect. Feel free to adjust the size of the semi-circle and the reciprocal damage done.
You also need an additional animation slot - this is because agent_deliver_damage_to_agent will deal cutting damage and won't actually knock them down properly as horses normally would. If you have added shield bash already this won't be necessary, but if you don't this animation should overwrite one of the unused human slots.
Finally, if anybody doesn't likes horses, I'll add a menu option to slaughter them for food using some of those slot values. That concludes this OSP of the week, the download given in the previous kit will contain this integrated in quick battle mode - the additional health given by the combat modifiers will scatter people around hilariously.
