If I use Rout to send home a unit that has Snow Riders Equipped, be my opponent use their Reaction to negate the movement before Rout destroys the follower?
Rout: Battle: Move a target unit home. Destroy one of its attachments (if any).
Snow Riders: Reaction: Before an action's resolution begins: Negate this Personality's movement from the action's effects.
Thank You!!!

Yes. Snow Rider's Reaction triggers before any of Rout's effects occur. Rout's effect still can destroy the Snow Riders, however.
Negating the movement will not stop the destruction.
