Ostler's Guild

Ostlers have a monopoly over the breeding, care, and sale of horses and animals for profit. A master ostler is an expert farrier, equine veterinarian, stablemaster, and tackmaker. Although some ostlers specialize in one aspect of the craft, most operate livery stables in conjunction with inns. 
Major nobles find a bonded master ostler to be indispensable. Freemaster ostlers are also found wherever horses are raced. Each major settlement has a fenced Ostlers’ Common where ostlers graze the horses in their care. Individual ostlers frequently also own their own pastures. While ostlers shoe horses, they usually purchase the shoes from metalsmiths. A charge of 1gp will usually stable one horse overnight, including feed.
