Valdemar 05 - [vows & Honor 02] - Oathbreakers
“Kele, kele, kele!”
Tarma wheeled Ironheart about on the mare’s heels in a piece of horsemanship that drew a spattering of impromptu applause from those watching, and chivied the last of the tired horses into the corral assigned to them by the master of the Petras stock market. She controlled them with voice only—not hand, nor whip. She didn’t even call for any encouraging nips at their heels from Warrl, another fact which impressed the spectators no end.
They were already impressed by the horse...s. They were not the kind of beasts that the inhabitants of Petras were used to seeing. These were Shin‘a’in purebreds, and the only reason any of them had been passed over by the Sunhawks was that they were mostly saddlebreds, not trailbreds. The Shin‘a’in horses bred for trail work were a little rougher looking, and a bit hardier than the saddlebreds, in the main. There were always exceptions, like Tarma’s beloved Kessira, but the Shin‘a’in kept the exceptions for their own use and further breeding —as Kessira was being bred, pampered queen mare of the Tale‘sedrin herds.MoreLess
