skills and subskills

Two linked questions, the first I already think I know the answer to, the other though.

  1. Say my Hero has Spear and Shield (13) from his cultural KeyWord and Sword and Shield (17)from his occupational KW. Would this be Close Combat 17 (Spear and Shield, Sword and Shield) i.e use the highest?
  2. My PC has Ride 13, Ride fast 17, Leap into Saddle 17, from different KWs. Having Ride Fast at a higher value than Ride seems faintly ridiculous to me (though I wouldn't recognize a ridable animal if I sat on it), so could I treat this the same as weapon skills?

Ride 17 (Ride Fast, Leap into Saddle)

Perhaps Leap into saddle is more of an acrobatics trick than an actual riding skill, so I can see a reason for leaving that one out. I'm sure my Narrator is as curious as I am and won't mind input or feel Panelized.

Cheers,
