“Ah.” Ky nodded. “I suppose that makes sense. I just assumed you’d have to feed a lot of hay over the winter.”

"We do have some imported but the horses prefer oats."

She nodded. "It's more expensive but they like it a lot better than hay."

“That’s good to know.” Ky nodded, finally settling back to rest her back against the wall next to the hearth. Not that she’d ever be able to afford a horse. Or to be able to feed it expensive food even if she did get one.

She dipped her head. "Horses are delicate creatures; I've always found it's best to follow their whims."

Ky hesitated then dipped her head. She didn’t have the courage to argue, despite the number of fights she’d been in with horses. They were bullheaded. She’d never considered the word ‘delicate’ to describe one. “Yes ma’am.”

"Their health is just too precarious." She shook her head. "The woolly ones are hardy, but if they fall the wrong way then it's all over."

“Oh. That’s true.” She nodded. “You’ve got to pay extra care to their feet, too.”

"Ah, the feet are the worst. Horses are so illogical."

“But fun.” Ky smiled. “I was a stable boy for two years. And… well… the circumstances weren’t great and I missed my papa a lot. But I liked the work. It’s fun to train the horses and get to watch them improve before you over time.”

"Ah, the training is the best part! That's what I love about horses as well."

Ky grinned. “Do you work with horses a lot, then?”

“Makes sense.” Ky nodded. “It’s cool that you like training your own. Makata just wanted us to hand over a perfectly tamed, trained horse. There would have been hell to pay if his horse misbehaved in the slightest.”
