The "Wild hares" is a troop of young men with lances, of whom the oldest isn't nineteen, Benfred Tallhart surrounds himself with after he heard of Robb Stark's successes in the War of the Five Kings. They originally called themselves the "young wolves". Leobald Tallhart mocks them calling them "young rabbits", but they circumvent the name taking the name of "wild hares."[1]

They scour the country, rabbit skins attached to they spears, singing knight songs, until Ser Rodrik Cassel orders Leobald to sort them out.[2]

Benfred and his company ride out to the Stony Shore to see if the rumors of ironborn raiding are true. They do not expect that the enemy will have many men and did not send scouts ahead. Theon Greyjoy and his ironmen easily surprise and defeat the Wild Hares.[3]
