En bref
Bree is a talking horse from Narnia, stolen as a foal and sold in Calormen. He spent years serving as a warhorse there, carefully hiding the fact that he could talk. Proud of his campaigns, his dappled coat, and his gait, he dreams of returning “to Narnia and the North.” He needs a rider to pass unnoticed, and he finds one in Shasta, the fisherman’s son, whom he proposes they should flee together.

Bree the Horse and His Rider
Bree teaches Shasta to ride. The first lesson is rough, and Bree readily mocks his “rider.” Along the way, he meets another talking mare, Hwin, who is accompanying Aravis. He shows off his gallantry, but also his vanity and tendency to lecture. He constantly worries about what the other talking horses in Narnia will think : do they roll on the ground in Narnia ? Do they have long tails ? At Tashbaan, he must endure the humiliation of having his tail cut and his coat dirtied to pass as a draft horse. When a lion pursues them in the valley leading to the Hermit, Bree runs to save his own skin. It is Shasta, on foot, who turns to face the lion. Bree is deeply humiliated and thinks he is no longer worthy of Narnia. Later, he insists with confidence that Aslan is not a real lion, but a way of speaking. Aslan then appears behind him and invites him to touch Him, to feel His whiskers and smell Him : He is indeed a real beast. Bree, overwhelmed, finally learns humility. He reaches Narnia, where he discovers that talking horses also roll in the grass.
