Stables

The seasoned traveler understands how valuable a steed can be on lengthy and treacherous journeys. Stables are usually found in smaller towns and villages, or at private residences where the owners may be willing to offer you a fine horse at a fair price. Stables are not found in many cities. Most stables deal in strong plough horses, rugged mountain horses, swift steppes horses, and a few even have Valorian steeds, which are most excellent war horses.

All horses carry full supplies for the well-equipped rider.

History
Horses were sold since Ultima I, and that changed little in the next three installments. In Ultima VII however, there are no single horses available, and the player instead uses carriages to travel faster through Britannia.



Lore
''Stables are not found in many cities, but there are a few in castles and private residences that will consider selling to the public. Most stables deal in strong plough horses, rugged mountain horses, swift steppes horses, and a few even have Valorian steeds, which are most excellent war horses. All carry full supplies for the well equipped rider.''

''The seasoned traveler understands what a godsend a steed can be on lengthy and treacherous journeys. Stables are usually found in smaller towns and villages, or at private residences where the owners may be willing to offer you a fine horse at a fair price.''

-from "Compendium", Ultima VI

''There is no faster mode of land travel that riding in a horsedrawn wagon. When travelling in the wilderness, the quicker one is, the safer one is. Horses and carts can be purchased from the stables in Britain.''
