Sandor riding stranger by M.Luisa Giliberti©

Stranger is Sandor Clegane's warhorse. He is a heavy courser almost as large as a destrier but much faster. He is a big handsome black stallion with a mean temper. He is quick to kick and bite.

He was apparently named after the Stranger, the death aspect of the Seven-Faced God.

A Feast for Crows

He is among the horses in the stable of the brothers on the Quiet Isle. The brothers named him Driftwood rather than use Sandor's "blasphemous" name. He kicked and broke the shinbone of the brother who tried to harness him to a plow and bit the ear off of the brother who tried to geld him.
