These fields, located just outside of the inner city walls, are home to the many horses in the humans' small attempt of having something to protect themselves from exterior threats. Humans don't have claws or teeth after all, and so an armed cavalry is their best hope for protection.
These fields are large enough for 40 men and their horses to spread out single file and train in their maneuvers and formations. The on-sight barns house hundreds of battle-ready horses, as well as the breeding stock.
