Stallion - Agriculture
Stallion – Stallion striking,
The steed of Gods.
Hooves are hitting,
Har’s fell foemen.

things look easy on paper but in actuality are much harder to perform. Young Vikings may earn this level only
once.

(such as sheep or cattle) or other agricultural use (such as horses). This Challenge is separated from

raising the offspring. Animal rearing is not a task for the light hearted and several good books and sources of
