Yes! The horses are somewhat relevant... so happy that it stuck with you! Of course, this is all to tie things together with Bree and HHB!
Oh, did I struggle with writing the Tarkaan! Anything Calormene is my weak point, and it was a struggle to pick one from HHB. And I didn't pick up that his beard was dyed... I thought it was natural until a beta pointed out that it wasn't. But then his background story came out of the justification and I got to play up the theme of slavery. Happy accident!
