Aidan had four horses (two warhorses, two palfreys). The Scout Company had twenty-six warhorses of variable quality and twenty-six rounceys. I’m estimating another twenty to thirty horses for the offices, the messengers, and general household use. For now, I’d say that the messengers typically rode high-quality, fast horses—maybe rounceys.]
