[Steppes] Manly Largesse...

[ED Reese]

My Lady,

Alas, the men of the horsehold are all, well, horses. Their answers were as 
follows.

Beau: "Mares. Carrots and Mares. Hey, how about mares with carrots in their 
manes, bearing Cool Ranch Doritos and Cheetos in appropriate submissive 
adoration of my wonderfullness?"

Buck: "Carrots and scritches and hugs. Oh -- and some mares with little, 
itty bitty, teeth who want to groom and cuddle, and not eat my carrots?"

Pepper: "Lovely human maidens to groom, who will groom me and feed me 
carrots and potato chips until their arms fall off."

Ross: "Can I eat it?"

So, as you can see, they weren't very helpful!

Some things the two legged ladies thought of were:

Rectangular cloaks
Pouches, both serviceable and fancy
Portable games, or, pouches with the "game board" embroidered on them, that 
could carry their game pieces inside (perhaps with instructions included?)
Hoods
Staffs

Of course, these would serve ladies as well -- just as soap and fripperies 
serve lords quite well. Or so the mares of the horsehold inform me. ;-) 
They just love a good frisky frippery on a young lad!

Ahem. Lady Nuala also has a lovely list of great ideas. Nuala?
