Ryshadium are known for choosing and obeying only a particular rider.{{book ref|sa1|12}} They are not broken or trained; they choose of their own volition.{{book ref|sa4|21}} A person must be "worthy" to be chosen by a Ryshadium. What the measure of worthiness is, however, remains unclear.{{book ref|sa2|81}} Only a dozen men in all the warcamps at the [[Shattered Plains]] had a Ryshadium{{book ref|sa1|12}} and for much of his life [[Dalinar]] was not worthy.{{wob ref|12117}} Dalinar describes the experience of having a Ryshadium accept him as a rider as "indescribable".{{book ref|sa1|15}}
Though Ryshadium choose their rider, they may allow others to ride them as they are needed; in one instance, Ryshadium were used to carry three wounded men from the battlefield.{{book ref|sa1|68}} On the rare occasions that a Ryshadium needs to carry someone other than their rider, the rider may have to spend a long time convincing the horse to do so.{{book ref|sa2|51}} Adolin regrets not appreciating [[Sureblood]] enough prior to his death in the battle at [[Stormseat]]; he spends time watching and grooming Gallant.{{book ref|sa3|10}}{{book ref|sa4|22}} They form a friendship, and Gallant—perhaps missing Dalinar's companionship—eventually allows Adolin to ride him.{{book ref|sa4|13}}{{book ref|sa4|35}} A Ryshadium having two riders is described as "very rare".{{book ref|sa4|21}}
