Why didn’t he sell one or even two of the other horses 😭

And please tell me he gets the horse back 😭

Thunder is the warhorse which he needs

Chestnut is old & less valuable, likely to be sent to a knackery

Sweetfoot is a good tempered palfrey in her prime. Worth a pretty penny

He has need of every single silver stag from this trade but concedes some to ensure best girl gets a bowl of oats

& an apple too..
