Graylie Character Analysis

One of the three horses that appear in Miranda’s dream in the beginning of the story. In her dream, Miranda must borrow one horse to take on a journey to “outrun Death and the Devil.” Though one of the other horses can “jump ditches in the dark and knows how to get the bit between his teeth,” Miranda selects Graylie “because he is not afraid of bridges.”
