This guild represents all who breed, train, capture and
tame, house, and tend horses and other riding animals,
including aerial steeds (but not aquatic creatures, lizards,
or great cats), and sets standards for such care. The
Guild also provides its members with veterinary aid, and
cheap rates on feed by buying in bulk. The Guild maintams
a registry of pedigrees and brands to discourage
theft and aid the Watch in tracing animals it they are
stolen. Prices for Guild members' mounts are as given in <livestock>
the AD&D rules.  Such businesses do take exhausted
mounts for a lesser, “trade-in” value.

Guild member Jhalathan Ilzoond is considered the finest
griffon-tamer in the City, but owns only one such
steed himself, which is housed at Castle Waterdeep and
hired by the Guard. The Guard is the largest owner of
griffons in the City, it stables over twenty in the eyrie on
Mount Waterdeep, and another six (plus Jhalathan’s
beloved “Firebeak”) at the Castle. There are perhaps
three dozen known aerial steeds regularly in the City in
the private hands of City residents, including pegasi, hippogriffs,
and wind steeds. Members of this Guild have
trained almost all of these.
