Bran, Robb, and some other Winterfell men take Bran's new saddle and horse out for a test drive. Things are clicking on all cylinders until a band of wildings and deserters from the Night's Watch show up. Things escalate quickly, resulting in bloody carnage and a wildling hostage. Simon explains how he recently found a similar scene on his back porch.

Chapter Review:
Bran Stark, his brother Robb, Theon Greyjoy, the wolves, and some other Winterfell men accompany Bran out of Winterfell for Bran's first ride in his new saddle. Robb and Bran race ahead. Bran is all smiles and excitement until Robb tells him of their father's troubles in King's Landing with Jamie Lannister. Bran wants to go home but they decide to find the wolves first. While looking for them, a group of wildlings and deserters from the Night's Watch find Bran alone and attempt to rob him. Robb returns and he and the wolves bring a bloody end to all but two of the raiders. When Theon puts an arrow through the man who was holding Bran at knife-point, the fighting ends. Robb decides to take the remaining wildling woman hostage.
