The Horse Guard was unique among the Kingdom's military. Anyone could join: noble and commoner, merchantfolk and circus folk, peasants and farmers. No one cared who you came from or where you came from. The only thing they cared about was: could you ride? Could you sit a horse like you were born in the saddle and learn to fight? The Horse Guard fought on horseback, fought with their horses and, if you believed the rumours, there wasn't anything they couldn't, or in fact wouldn't, do on horseback.
True Horse Guard, went the legend, only needed a single pair of boots to last a lifetime because their feet never touched the ground. They could whisper to their horses who understood human speech, could speak to each other on the wind, knew the secret words, magic words, to command any horse.
