"We must be more careful with fire, for things are dry and burn easily, and a wildfire on the plains is a disaster when it occurs. But in the Stone City, or on the sands of Dol Amroth, I can see how it would appeal. Alas that I cannot take part in some game myself, but I doubt trick riding is a sport much seen on the streets of Minas Tirith. And besides, it would not be fair."
