Quite possibly?

The other thing that I had started wondering about was how much it was Leof's responsibility to exercise the horses - part of it might depend on whose they are (I know in the AiE, someone wrote there to be 15 - I can count Eodwine's, Leof's, Garwine's, Linduial's, Marenil's, and Manawyth's - that leaves 9 - belonging to the Eorl? belonging to people having them boarded? I would think that if they belonged to people having them boarded, they wouldn't be kept in the city unless they were used at least fairly often...), but as I initially understood it, an ostler would be responsible for feed, grooming, stable upkeep, etc. Is exercise really one of those duties as well?
