After a slight nod, she did just that.  She'd always been fairly good with animals, so she actually knew a bit of what to look for, and what terminology to use.  She admired their strong flanks, inspected their hooves for any cracking, and felt along their legs for any musculature problems.  They did seem to be decent beasts, and she gave an approving nod.  "I guess they'll do, in a pinch."<br/><br/>Then she climbed back into the carriage and settled herself for another long ride.  This part of the scenery would be new to her... both on the way there and back she had fallen asleep for most of this stretch.  Hopefully she could keep from doing so this time.
