Changing Speed of a Minion/Mount Due to Magic Item

Is there a way to change the speed of a minion / mount in the 5e SRD due to an bonus from a magic item? For example, Horseshoes of Speed increase the speed of a mount by 30 ft. and I would like to automate the speed increase when I equip the horseshoes. I have been looking through information on transitions, but haven't seen anything on how to transition to a minion or mount, or if it is even possible.

I checked the scripting for Horseshoes of Speed in Pathfinder and it only changes the speed of the hero and not the minion/mount. If it wasn't configured in Pathfinder, then it may not be possible or easily done.
 
I can think of a couple of ways you can try this.

1. Add the Adjustment "Speed" to your minion.

2. Make a copy of the horseshoes, add the script that adds speed to the hero, give the item to the mount/minion. I would also add the ability to be equipped, so you could allow a mount/minion to carry the item in a saddlebag without getting a speed increase. You can give gear on your hero to a minion by clicking on the bag icon and choosing Give to Hero - and the name of your mount.

3. Make a copy of the horseshoes, add the ability to be activated. Add a script that says when the horseshoes are activated, add 30 to the minion.childfound[Speed].field[tSpeedMod].value --- this will be much trickier since you'll have to write logic that targets only a specific minion, probably adding a choice dropdown of all minions, etc.

My choice would be either 1 or 2 since they are both really easy.
 
Excellent ideas. I may even try Option 3 since I had already created the choice dropdown that lets me select which minion. I wasn't aware that "minion" could be used in one of the transition statements as you've shown. If I can't get Option 3 to work, I'll use one of the other two. Thanks again.
 
Got it working within minutes after reading DungeonGuru's recommended options. The dropdown is set up to only include minions that have the tag for mounts. I used the following:

field[usrChosen1].chosen.minion.childfound[Speed].field[tSpeedMod].value += 30
