Horse

Horses are commonly used all over Arburg to easily transport all kinds of people to wherever they need to go. Horses are usually only owned by middle and higher class people, due to the high expenses required to take care of them. However, there are stables where anyone can "rent" out a horse and pay per hour.


The most famous person in Arburg's history connected to horses is Hanna Lynn. She used horses as her own personal transport, rather than convential means of transport used by royalty, like carriages. She often rode out by herself (with, of course, her horse, Silk) and this was disapproved by many members of the royal household, especially in fear of health and safety.

Silk was a Dominant White horse, and Hanna took it upon herself to immaculately groom her horse every night. Her coat was always shiny and smooth, and Hanna made sure that she never overworked her. The two became very close, and Hanna was very careful with whom she let take care of her horse. Rumour has it that they were bonded together, and could even communicate woth each other. Funnily enough, after Hanna died, Silk stopped eating, and she wouldn't leave her stable. A few weeks later, she died, and some say that she really died of heartbreak.
