Who it suits
Buy this one if you do not yet know what kind of rider you will be. It runs and lasts as well as any other horse at the stable; what changes over time is the bond you build with it and the tack you put on it.

How mounts work
Horses are bought from the stablemaster and wait in your stable, which holds up to five. You name it when you buy it, and you can sell it back for 40% of its price at the stable.
The bond grows while the horse is out with you, and stamina and temper grow with it. Saddles, saddlebags and blinders are bought at the stable and add speed, stamina or temper. A whistle calls your favourite horse.
