Lillie blinked in Jill's direction, wondering if she truly was that worried about fitting in, so to speak. They had all sorts of characters in their party; from knights to mercenaries, a recent surfacer dwarf, a former Dalish, even Qunari. Surely a woman who had a horse was not that strange in comparison.
"I don't think anyone would find it strange if you rode. I mean, all this walking is awful. I'm sure that many of us would take advantage of having a horse to cart us about if we could." She smiled at that and then chuckled. "Not that anyone else would even know how to ride one. They're so uncommon here."
Only the extremely wealthy, like Jill's former employer, would have access to the animals, and the Wardens had as well. Aside from that it was only the royal knights who were mounted. Fereldan's probably had a hundred times as many dogs as horses on their lands.
