*To the Equestrian's!* (Monday Evening)

*Yuri goes down to the ye olde horse shop.*

*Ye olde horse shop is Bostrin Equestrians. The horses are visible doing horse things among a large fenced in field. A mansion lies on the north end of the property, and a business building lies nearing the entrance with a finely crafted wood sign. Inside you find Bostrin drinking tea and smoking from a pipe.*

(what is your character dressed in?)

(His Khadoran get up.)

*Yuri enters the building.*
"Hello? Are you Mr. Bostrin?"

*Bostrin stands to his full height and looks at Yuri.*

"Come to invade me too now Khadoran?"

"Nyet, just to come buy horse. Unless I hear wrong, these are best steeds in the city."

"My steeds are the finest bred horses in all of the free cities. The techniques we use to train them have been passed down through the Bostrin family for ages."

*He has a sip of his tea.*

"I don't sell them to just anyone. For you though... I have a horse you may be interested in."

"A good horse is what I need. Had excellent horse during war, magnificent animal. Had a beautiful, glossy brown coat and was strong horse. Maybe you have horse like him?"

"Follow me, I will show you a horse."

*He stands and offers to lead Yuri to one of the stables.*

*Yuri follows him to the stables.*

*They enter one of the stables and Yuri is shown a horse in large pen with high walls. The horse has black fur and snorts loudly as they enter. It stairs at Yuri with angry eyes and paces inside the pen.*

"This is the most aggressive horse we've ever seen. We were joking that it has the spirit of Khador. If you're looking for a warhorse, this one will suit you."

*Yuri gets close to the pen and looks the horse over.*
"Is great beast. How does he handle?"

"He handles like a pissed off slab of muscle that wants to kick anything that moves."

*Yuri smiles as he looks at the horse.*
"And how many riders has he taken? Does he have a name?"

*Bostrin makes a half disgusted sound.*

"Of course the horse acts as though it likes you. You'd be his first rider. We never bothered naming it, so up to you."

"Hmmm.."
*Yuri looks around.*
"You have carrot?"

*Bostrin reaches into hos pack and pulls out a carrot, passing it to Yuri.*

*He smiles at Bostrin and takes the carrot.*

"My thanks."

*Yuri calmly hands the carrot inside the pen, speaking Khadooran in soothing tones.* (Like that's a thing)

*The horse nips Yuri's fingers, and rips the carrot from his hand. The crunching noises that ensue make you feel lucky to still have a finger.*

*Yuri nurses his hand.*
"I feel lucky to still have fingers. I have distinct impression that horse would rather kick head in then let me ride."

``As I said, he has the spirit of Khador. Not an easy ride, but I promise he will be the most aggressive warhorse you ever ride.

"I believe that. How is he with other horses? Or tuffalos?"

"He's a show off, and a bully if they can keep up with him."

"Hrmm."
*He shrugs.*
"Well, you have saddle? Lets see if horse doesn't kick me to ground. Then maybe he gets name."

*Bostrin speaks in a arrogant tone.*

"I have a saddle but you're going to need the whole tack to ride a horse. Hrmf."

*He pulls a set of riding tack off the wall and enters the enclosure to harness it to the warhorse. The horse snorts are him aggressively but seems to know better then to attack him.*

*Yuri follows him into the pen.*
"Well am not going to purchase horse without trying horse."
