Thank a lot for translating this, it's a very nice short chapter and a shame it's not in the official release.
EDIT : it IS in volume 4, I had just forgotten about it... Well, thanks for the reminder.

"Too young for a white horse."

What is the cultural significance of white horses?

Well, the way that horse was looking that child...
I'm almost sure that "soon" that horse will become more important to him than his own father.

I cannot speak of significance, but the Polish trabslation says "you are too young for such an expensive animal", which suggests that white horses are more expensive. Perhaps they are less common?

Now that I think of it, Chuval / Chubar is also a white horse and was the pride of Talas' father-in-law. It might be a coincidance, it might be not.

"Stop horsing around!" -Yusef, probably.

I don't think there's any other animal that is so special to humans like horses are. I mean, sure, dogs and cats are probably loved by many, but things like riding for fun or working with your horse takes the bond to a different level. I guess that's why equinotherapy exists, too.

Thanks for the TL!

When I grow up, I want to have my own hores! I like hores just like my father like hores.

Tracking down raws for the volume was annoying so many dead links and torrents.

The cost seems completely invented, nothing here relates to price. He does say the "too early for you" thing but what stood out to me is

so maybe it's half a joke unrelated to the manga about unrefined sake. But also wtf at the second definition where it either means dark-colored horse or white horse.

What a cute chapter!!! I love the jealous younger kids.

And for those curious about it- white horses are expeeeeeeeeeeensive, historically speaking. Rarer color, you know? Especially the closer to 'true' white.

That may be true but nothing in the raw says that so personally I wouldn't put that into a translation.
