Hodor takes care of [[Bran Stark]]'s [[pony]].{{ref|AGOT|8}} After the [[catspaw]] assassin attempts to kill the comatose Bran, but is killed by Bran's [[direwolf]] [[Summer]], it was determined that he had been sleeping in the stables. [[Hallis Mollen]] says it was possible that Hodor saw the man, as he had been acting strangely, but was too [[simple]] to tell anyone.{{ref|AGOT|14}}

After Bran wakes from his fall from the [[First Keep]], the crippled boy needs a way to move about [[Winterfell]]. Initially, Hodor carries Bran in his arms,{{Ref|AGOT|24}} and later Maester [[Luwin]] designs a wicker basket that can be strapped to Hodor's back and in which Bran can be placed.{{Ref|AGOT|53}} Hodor has served as Bran's way of transportation since. However, Hodor, being a [[simpleton]], sometimes forgets that Bran is in the basket, which causes Bran moments of pain when Hodor bangs him into the top of doorways.{{Ref|AGOT|53}}

When Lord [[Eddard Stark]] sees Ser [[Gregor Clegane]] at the [[Hand's Tourney]] in [[King's Landing]], he thinks that the Mountain That Rides would tower over Hodor.{{ref|AGOT|30}}

Hodor and [[Joseth]] help guide [[Dancer]] when Bran learns how to ride the horse.{{ref|AGOT|37}}

When Eddard Stark says his daughters [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]] and [[Arya Stark|Arya]] must leave King's Landing for Winterfell, Sansa is upset at the breaking of her [[betrothal]] to Prince [[Joffrey Baratheon]]. Arya tries to comfort Sansa, saying they will soon see their brothers, Bran and [[Robb Stark|Robb]], as well as Old Nan and Hodor and the others at Winterfell. However, Sansa rejects this, and angrily yells that Arya ought to marry Hodor, as she is also "stupid and hairy and ugly".{{ref|AGOT|44}}

As [[northmen]] respond to [[Robb Stark]]'s calling of the banners when [[Arrest of Eddard Stark|Eddard is arrested]], Bran has Hodor bring him to the [[godswood of Winterfell]]. The stableboy soaks himself in the hottest pool, while Bran enjoys the quiet of the wood. The nude Hodor then encounters Bran speaking with [[Osha]], and the [[wildling]] remarks that Hodor must have [[giant]]'s blood.{{ref|AGOT|53}}

Hodor is momentarily<ref>[[So Spake Martin]]: [https://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/Hodor_and_the_Crypts Hodor and the Crypts], January 03, 1999</ref> too scared to enter the [[crypt of Winterfell]], so Bran has to be carried down instead by Osha.{{ref|AGOT|66}}
