Recent Events
A Game of Thrones
Khal Drogo rides his stallion to greet Daenerys Targaryen outside Pentos.[2]
After Ser Jorah Mormont and Jhogo defend Daenerys against a poisoner in the Western Market, Drogo gives them free choice on claiming any horse from his herds, excluding his red stallion and Dany's silver mare, so Jhogo chooses a tall grey stallion.[3]
After becoming ill, Drogo falls off his great red stallion, so Daenerys asks Mirri Maz Duur to heal him using blood magic. As part of the ritual, Drogo is placed in a bath, and his stallion is brought into the tent so she can use its blood. Rakharo, Quaro, and Aggo force the screaming stallion to the tub, despite the horse being frightened by the stench of death. Mirri Maz Duur chants, then uses a red bronze knife covered in ancient glyphs to cut the horse's throat so the blood fills the tub.[4] Later, as Daenerys walks into Drogo's funeral pyre, she glimpses Drogo on his smoky stallion for just a moment.[1]
