Eagle Strike on Francesco de' Pazzi

Why bother chasing after Francesco when you can eagle strike him? 
But for some reason he can't be air assassinated, even though Ezio just learned that skill, so I'll have to settle with an air tackle immediately followed by a prone assassination.
I'm not sure. The only time I went under the map to that place was during that mission. I'm wondering if you can ride the horse if you can get to it.

There's a time to stalk and a time to stab.
It appears that the horse is just under the ground. That's why you can't see it from above. I've seen other instances where they pre-stage characters off camera until it's time for their cutscene.

Yes, the horse is under the ground. So in what other instances were there pre-staged characters?

Well, one example that's visible on THB occurs at 0:21 of this video. As Ezio shoulder rolls note that Carlo and Dante spawn in front of him, next to the execution stage. Then the cutscene starts and the two walk in from a different direction.
Yeah, they appear right before the scene. There are scenes in both games where characters enter areas through doorways in certain scenes, so they might be off camera. It would be worth it to reach them somehow.

grt job! i recall not being able to air assassinate him, too. like in ulberto, the air tackle is a nice workaround for the lack of air assassinate ability.
Yeah, I hate the fact that Ezio can't do assassination techniques on him even though he just learned them. This is probably because the target is close to a haystack and roof, but it's still messed up.

Great job, Aurllcooljay! This is great! I've tried numerous times to get an eagle strike on Francesco, but I couldn't seem to, as Ezio kept doing a leap of faith. After about 5 tries I gave up lol
When you jump diagonally from that spot the haystack is out of your reach so that you won't do a leap of faith. But there were a few times when I've jumped a little farther and landed in the haystack without doing a leap of faith.

Cool never knew about that horse, is it only there in that mission?
