“Horses have powerful legs- but that doesn't mean they're prima ballerinas.Elianna to Mariketa.”

“There is a lot of folklore about equestrian statues, especially the ones with riders on them. There is said to be a code in the number and placement of the horse's hooves: If one of the horse's hooves is in the air, the rider was wounded in battle; two legs in the air means that the rider was killed in battle; three legs in the air indicates that the rider got lost on the way to the battle; and four legs in the air means that the sculptor was very, very clever. Five legs in the air means that there's probably at least one other horse standing behind the horse you're looking at; and the rider lying on the ground with his horse lying on top of him with all four legs in the air means that the rider was either a very incompetent horseman or owned a very bad-tempered horse.”

“Just because they're a story doesn't mean they're not real.”

“changing horses doesn't mean the ride'll get any better!”

“But what about the horses? Have they always had horses here?""Probably. Colonial words usually have horses; they're cheap local transportation,self-replicating.”
