blackwall giving advice to trevelyan about the different horses available to them at first and laughing when they ask him whether or not they could ride anything more interesting, telling them that horses can be interesting enough if you make them angry.

blackwall smiling to himself when lavellan finds themselves drawn to the stables as much as the garden, listening intently when they tell him they worked with their clan’s halla and had a certain amount of innate skill with animals.

blackwall helping adaar pick out a mount that suits them and will willingly carry the heftier load, explaining that there were wardens just as big as them and chargers that could carry even heavier burdens and still run as fast as ponies.

blackwall giving cadash a boost (much to their pleasure or displeasure) when they need it to get into the saddle, petting over the horse’s mane and instructing them to do the same while he leads them around the yard so they can get a feel for each other.
