Their military is pretty slack (in fact, walk up to a halfling town any time of day and you're likely to find two sleeping guards posted at the gate... and the walls are usually only hedges as they are easier to "build".) as is most everything "halfling" (even their name... they just think the name halfling is funny and forgot what they originally called themselves over the last 8,000 years.)  But they tend to be excellent riders because it sure is a heck of a lot of fun.  (and less work than walking)  Though, their trained dogs are far too large to wander around town, lacking the grace and stillness of horses) and are usually kept outside of town, well away from where they can cause damage.Gnomes live underground in my world (because giants tend to live around their area and stomp nearly invisible gnome villages scattered on the surface into powder... completely by accident, of course) and a friend suggested that gnomes ride badgers... I'm considering that.</blockquote>
