Gaige pat a red female horse on the side. It had an especially decorative saddle that no doubt signified it was important in some way. The horse seemed to be distrustful of the people around it, but Gaige didn't bother ti too much. Maybe she reminded the horse of someone by being the same age and hair color? Who could say?

Epona doesn't react to anyone well, she's a wild stallion that was never broken. The only way to control her is through Epona's Song.
