Kate looked at him as she never thought about her horses as being slaves. They were animals and not as intelligent as humans. "Haseo, we need horses to help us get places, they fertilize our fields and they help us get jobs done. We take care of them. They are fed hey and apples, and are kept out of the rain in stables. We need to ride them to get into town and  travel. They are cared for and they take care of us. Horses are fun to ride and we need them. Don't be too upset. Everyone here has to have horses to get places. It would take too long to walk into town from the countryside. Not all mistreat their animals. I can get you a dog or a cat if you want. I will teach you to ride horses. You will get used to how we live. Life is very different for us because we are part human and you will understand the world in time."<br/>Kate showed him how to direct the horse and once he was used to the raines, she removed her hands and let him drive. "You're driving very well."
