Again, this is how this card reads:
Make a mounted man strength +1 for each mounted companion.
The rules of course state that if the man is not mounted, then you get a +0 bonus.
But the action is not completed.
Also, if said companion is skirmishing a
![Raider [Raider]](https://lotrtcgdb.com/forums/Smileys/classic/raider.png)
man, tack on a strength +2 and damage +2 bonus. This part is entirely irrelevant as to whether or not the companion, or any other companion, is mounted. In fact, it's based solely on the minion you are facing.
I read this as a 'strength +1 per mounted companion if mounted' card for
![2 [2]](https://lotrtcgdb.com/forums/Smileys/classic/2.png)
or [sometimes 'and'] a 'strength +2/damage+2 against a
![Raider [Raider]](https://lotrtcgdb.com/forums/Smileys/classic/raider.png)
minion card' for
![2 [2]](https://lotrtcgdb.com/forums/Smileys/classic/2.png)
. The latter part has no qualifier or requirement. It's just a 'bonus.'
