The royal stables hold all of the horses of the noble people living in the castle. They are very well constructed, consisting of expert mason work and fixtures of some sort of heavy, forest-scented wood. Each horse has a large stall, lined with fresh hay replenished by stable hands daily. On the walls of stable, there are tools used to care for and groom the horses, hung on hooks. The stables are lit by lanterns hung throughout the stables.

I am a brown mouse. I live in a barn with my best friend, Horse. I like to hide from him in the hay.
Hello stable hands, did you know the horse is my best friend? I heard that from the king. I thought you were given your own room in the castle.  How did you find out? The king told me not to tell anyone at all? What else do you know? I know many things little mouse. More than you would think.  Did you see what he was doing You mean she. The Queen was doing as she wishes. So you know! Do not speak of it to anyone or I will tell him YOU stole the trinket. Now that you know if you do not give my best friend the horse dinner three times a day I will get you in trouble. Oh no need to worry. I kept the secret as long as you have.  I will feed my friend today stable hand. Please start a fire for my friend and me. And fetch me some cheese from the castle.  Start a fire in a horse stall? The floor is like three feet of flammable hay. You will be in charge of seeing that it does not burn down this stall.  We will need a small fire you can use this wood.  Obviously you have a mouse brain if you think this is a good idea.
