Since there was no documentation for the new 1.69 Ride skill, various feats and the PDK prestige class I went in game and copied down all the details for everyone's convenience. I also tossed in an undocumented feat (Great Smiting) from HotU that Elessar pointed out to me. Thanks Elessar!

Purple Dragon Knight (Prestige Class)
The famous Purple Dragons of Cormyr are regarded across Faerûn as exemplars of disciplined, skilled, loyal soldiers. Their reputation is deserved partly because of the heroic actions of their leaders, the Purple Dragon knights.
Purple Dragon knights develop uncanny skills related to coordinating and leading soldiers. Most are fighters, rangers, or paladins, but a few bards, clerics, and rogues have been known to become Purple Dragon knights. Sorcerers and wizards tend to join the War Wizards, Cormyr's elite brigade of fighting spellcasters, while barbarians are too undisciplined, and druids and monks too "uncivilized" in Cormyr to enter this career.
