Walkthrough ahead
Stable Stalls
Ten stalls stretch along each side of the long stable. Fresh sawdust covers
the wooden planks that make up the floor. The sweet smell of fresh hay
lightly scents the air. At the end of the corridor tall frosted glass
windows that let the pampered equines within enjoy the fresh air and
sunlight. Even the arched beams of the ceiling are free of spider webs;
this is a very well kept stable indeed. The sound of soft words spoken
emerges from one of the stalls.
