Destination: The Hark clan camp at the lower Brennan ford (and home again)
The central challenge
A three-day round-trip to a clan camp to evaluate a wild-caught colt. The walker must spend a quiet afternoon with the colt and judge its temperament -- an animal-handling check that the clan will respect.
The Hark are good with horses and do not like the question 'is this colt sound.' They like the question 'may I sit with the colt.' Ask the right question. -- P
