Ranger's Apprentice 12: the Royal Ranger
“Bumper looked up at the sound. Almost instantly, an answering whinny came from the direction of the cabin.
‘We’ve got company,’ Will said.
Maddie looked at him inquiringly but he said no more. He thought he’d recognised the strange horse’s sound but he wasn’t totally sure. No sense in voicing an assumption only to have it proven wrong.

Maddie looked at her horse, puzzled. ‘How does Bumper know her?’ she asked.
Will glanced at her. ‘Ranger horses tend to recognise each other. Even if they’ve never met.’ ‘That doesn’t make a lot of sense,’ said a cheerful voice from the end of the porch. ‘How can you recognise someone you’ve never met?’ Will shrugged. ‘Why ask me? I’m not a horse.’ You don’t have the legs for it, Tug commented dryly.
