I have a fairly good stables, but only one stallion that I truly love.

[He was stronger, faster and more resilient than the farm horses her steward had collected. They would be well enough for the children when they were learning to ride, but for her, she needed a horse that could manage riding over mountains.

She swung up into the saddle, urging the horse to circle the yard for a moment, testing his speed. She made a fair sight with her long hair billowing out behind her.]

I think he might be able to manage well. I saw some mountains further ahead. Shall we try there first?

[She had to laugh.]

That sounds like a challenge to me. What say you to a wager?
