Horses
Described below are a number of types of horses. While not
breeds per se, these creatures offer the distinction between the
various roles a horse can play in society—and as such these animals
were bred for their respective tasks. As always, look to the lifepaths,
skills and traits of the creatures to gain an understanding of their
function.
To the modern reader, horses tend not to hold much weight or
fascination. They seem to be something of a relic and almost an
inconvenience when one considers the animal’s necessities and
requirements of food, companionship and space.
However, in the period in which we choose to reenact much of
our fantastic adventure—indeed up to just over 100 years prior to
our own time—horses were a fixture in daily life and largely still a
necessity of those modern times.
Courser
Lifepaths/Age:
Born Courser, War Training, Campaign/ 6 years old
As the car is to us today, so was the horse for perhaps three
thousand years. The horse was the foundation of civilized society—
it was the vehicle of rapid transportation of body, force and idea.
It’s introduction and embracement by successive ancient civilizations
irrevocably changed their cultures, as much as the car has changed
ours.

In ancient Byzantine, for example, the empire was spread and
kept by her horses. Huge herds were maintained for breeding, and
these animals decided not only victory in battle, but they brought
news of the outcome of conflict as well. Along her old post roads,
a Byzantine courier could travel a hundred miles in a day using a
supply of fresh horses kept at intervals along the mail routes for
just such transmission of information.

As herds flourished and prospered, so did civilization. Gradually,
the horse supplanted the ox as the all-purpose farm implement.
New harness technology allowed fields to be plowed faster and more
efficiently—allowing greater crop yields and contributing to
population boom and eventually the growth of cities.
Traits:
Level-Headed, Loyal, Determined, Fearless, Aggressive plus
Long-Limbed, Keen Hearing, Hooved, Ungulate.
And what seem to us inconveniences of feed, shelter and care
were facts of life for many. Tending to and keeping a horse was
simply part of life. Indeed, for a knight in medieval Europe, the
horse was his most valuable possession!
Beliefs:
I am loyal to my master.
Instincts:
Obey master’s commands. Smite master’s foes. Mount mares as
soon as master isn’t looking.
This chapter attempts to mechanically illustrate the use and role
of horses in Burning Wheel—in war, in travel, in trade and in work.
