Here in the stable yard you can find a place to hitch, feed, and care for
your mounts.  At the north end of the stable yard is an indoor stable known
all throughout the land for it's fine care of animals.  In the center of the
yard is a trough for watering your steed.  A fence made of roughly hewn
timbers surrounds the yard and prevents the animals from escaping.  
     In the center of the yard is a long wooden trough full of water.
