Personages

• Ser Garwyn Blackhorn: Master-of-Horse. The young head of the House Wisent stables and a knight of some fame. Ser Garwyn is in charge of training the war-horses of House Wisent, as well as overseeing the bloodlines of the house's horse.
• Mander: Master Ostler. In charge of care and feeding of the horses, as well as raising foals, Mander's direct responsibility also includes overseeing the stablehands. He is a gruff man with a workaday attitude towards his duties, accomplishing them solidly, but without much innovation or creativity.
• Crovin: Stablehand. A part-time stable-hand who works the house stables three days a week, Crovin also works at the Severed Hand, with his wife's family. He is a quiet young man used to just putting his head down and getting the job done.
• Nestor: Stablehand. A full-time stable-hand, Nestor can be somewhat lazy if left unattended, but he genuinely loves the horses and takes fine care of them. Nestor also has a way with horses, and has been known to handle even war-trained mounts that don't ordinarily permit others near them.
• Ralf Little: Stableboy. An orphan whose father was a Bull, Ser Ormun arranged for Ralf to come work in the stables. A boy of 8, he wants nothing more than to be a knight someday, and looks up to Ser Garwyn as his personal hero.
• Forley: Stableboy. An older boy of 11, Forley's family are old friends of Mander's who asked him to apprentice the boy as an ostler. The young man has a bit of a mean streak, often teasing Ralf, but has learned to keep his torments under control after Mander has shown that he has no hesitation tanning the boy's hide for his meanness.

Horses

These are the horses that belong directly to the nobles and retainers of House Wisent. They are not the end-all, be-all of the House Wisent herd, however, as a handful of horses (including two more Ryswell gifts) are kept at Palewood.

War Horses

• Marigold: Ser Garwyn's courser.
• Stokesley: Ser Ormun Ironsmith's destrier.
• Thunder: Ser Ryfe of Barrowton's courser.
• Huntsman: Lord Josian Wisent's courser.
• Weir: Ser Raun Snow's rounsey.

Riding Horses

• Star-Eye: A beautiful black palfrey with a single starburst of white over her left eye, Star-Eye is Kaila's horse, given to her when she came of age by her father. She often takes Star-Eye hunting with her.
• Saffron: A beautiful golden horse with white socks, nose and mane, Saffron is Lady Elizabel's palfrey. She is gentle natured, but loves to run.
• Frost: A pale blue-white palfrey, Frost is the horse that Lord Josian likes to ride when he is simply traveling. Frost is sometimes a stubborn horse.
• Rowan: An auburn palfrey, Rowan is one of the newest horses to the stables, a gift from House Ryswell.
• Hadley: The odd horse out of the riding stables, Hadley is the late Daenar Harclay's old garron, his constant companion from his days as a young adult. Nanna Snow has claimed Hadley as her own.
