Page 23. Second paragraph of "Combat Skills". You can eliminate all mounted improv penalties by taking a "Mounted Combat" or similar skill. Pentans, Grazers, and Praxians would need "foot combat" to elimintate non-mounted penalties. This applies not only to combat, but to many other physical skills - for example, I might penalize a Praxian's chances to walk a long distance (assuming he doesn't have an applicable skill) because he is much more used to riding a long distance.
