Horses were domesticated, one-toed, hoofed mammals.

History

13th century

The King's Champion died after his horse was spooked by a toad. This led to Captain Fortesque's promotion into the role.

When the Hero of Gallowmere's crypt was built after his death in 1286, a stained glass window was installed in one of its rooms where the hero was depicted riding a horse and fighting a dragon.

14th century

It is alleged that the resurrected Hero of Gallowmere noted in his personal journal that a cannon on the Ghost Ship was "the size of a shire horse." Another account states that the champion of the villainous sorcerer Zarok, Lord Kardok, rode a huge skeletal steed into battle.

19th century

Horse-drawn carriages were quite common in late 19th century London. When Lord Palethorn cast his spell over the city, a carriage carrying a coffin was just outside his house. The blast blew the driver and the coffin away from the carriage, spooking the horse, leading to it running away.
