10 hrs confidence:
| untätige Rechten privileged to be idle Explanation: You horse haters! :-) Their horses were so valued, they weren't used for lower work. So they had time off between wars. Other than that, they were allowed to sleep in the tents and in case the owner would run out of food or water, the horse would receive the very last bite or sip. (As a kid I owned an Arabian horse and devoured all related literature I could get hold off) |
