The first Roach. Geralt is a young witcher, he couldn’t afford the young four year old gelding or the six year old mare. Instead the second year witcher settled and put all his coin down on a nameless 17 year old mare. She was cheap and story was, “she showed up in town without a rider, but still fit for riding”, that was all Geralt needed to hear. He knew little about horses at the time and honestly couldn’t care. By time the grey became noticeable in her coat, Geralts opinion had changed. Roach had became more than just a horse. She became a friend. When she showed signs of slowing he knew it was time to complete their last journey together. In the foothills of Kaer Morhen Geralt turns Roach free. The mare passes naturally at 25, Geralt at her side to wish her farewell.
