Template:Quest3Spooked Mare is a secondary quest in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
Summary
In the riverside east of Oxenfurt and just north of the Crossroads signpost, Geralt spoke with a man whose horse had run off. He tells of a woodland spook who took his mare and sprinkled blood on his threshold at midnight. If Geralt agrees to help the poor man, he will describe his horse as a "gray mare, none too large." The witcher can then follow the horse's hoofprints into the woods to later find an enclosure of horses guarded by Scoia'tael. The witcher can speak to the Scoia'tael Commander or go in the enclosure and attack the Scoia'tael. If Geralt speaks with the commander, he can either start a fight, cast Axii on the commander, or pay 100 
to buy the horse from him. Once the Scoia'tael are dealt with, the witcher will receive 25 
and will have to select a horse from the enclosure to return to the peasant. If the witcher chooses a younger and stronger horse than the grey old nag the farmer originally owned, his monetary reward is higher with no penalty to XP earned. Once the horse is selected, the witcher can cast Axii to calm the horse, receive 25 and ride it back to the peasant's enclosure beside his house. After whichever horse is in the enclosure, the witcher can now talk to the owner. If Geralt brought back his gray horse, the owner will reward the witcher with 20 and gain 25 .
