A Dance with Dragons
Horse is trained by Iron Emmett after his appointment as master-at-arms at Castle Black. Jon, the new Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, spies him training in the yard against Hop-Robin, whom he easily defeats. Jon compliments his skill, but advises him that he lowers his shield too far when pressing the attack. Horse thanks the Lord Commander for his advice as he helps Hop-Robin back to his feet.[3]
Horse is one of the men brought along as muscle to assist Jon in enforcing Janos Slynt's orders to garrison Greyguard.[4]
Horse and five other recruits—Leathers, Jax, Satin, Arron, and Emrick—later travel to the weirwood grove just north of the Wall in the haunted forest to say their vows. They are escorted by Jon and ten rangers. Jon, Iron Emmett, and Bowen Marsh weigh each recruit and assign them to an order. Horse is assigned to the builders.[5]
