| When he had finished that, he lifted all my feet in turn, tapping the bottoms gently. Hmm. Sounds like a horse trainer has been here . . . nice details in the description . . . reminds me of my friends who raise horses . . . wonderful vignette of a horse's view of training. Author Reply: I've learned a few things about horses through experience and through reading. Who wants a horse that will fight everything you do? I'm just glad I sound like I know what I'm writing about. ;) | |

| It took me too long to get to this, I admit..... But, now that I have, I have to say I enjoyed it greatly, though I can't imagine any of the Rohirrim treating a horse as a burden or with neglect. By the way, you don't read romance novels, do you? Handsome man on a black stallion, and the like..... :) Author Reply: Yes it did, but I'm glad you made it. :) But I'm not much better. I've been putting off the next chapter for several days now. :D I'm glad you liked it! As for Frea's first master, that wouldn't have been in here but for that blurb in WHWB that I couldn't get around. So I just imagine that the guy would have taken good care of Frea once he got over having lost one of his best mares. Hey, let's give him the BOTD. And besides, how else would Ceorl have been able to get him? :) No, no romance novels . . . well, literally anyway. Westerns might count. But hey, handsome man on a black stallion and the like is every girl's dream. :D | |

| I have loved this one since I first read about him in "The White Horse and The White Banner". Wasn't he the reason for the plot Bunny? So glad you included him. I was so sad when his mother died and through his telling, I felt as if I had watched it! Another wonderful chapter! Author Reply: Actually, I went back and looked at the reviews not too long ago, and I believe it was Celebros in All Is Fair In Love and War that inspired the plot. But Frea definitely had to be included. He and Ceorl are my pet project. :) | |

| SQUEE!! I loved it! I've never thought about Frea that way before, and having Ceorl rescue him was wonderful. I especially liked the last sentence! coon Author Reply: Frea is my dream horse (and his master isn't that bad either.) :D I thought it would be interesting to have Ceorl start out as a skinny kid :b, but one with the Rohirric love of horses, of course. And I imagine that Aldor told him he could join the Riders as soon as his skills were sharp enough, and he had a good mount. That's the reason he was looking so hard. :) I just had to stick that last sentence in. :) After all, we know what happened. :D | |
