In briefanswer capsule

Bob is sent by Butterbur to hunt for mounts after the raid on the Bree inn. After more than three hours he reports that none can be obtained except one Ferny may sell—an underfed beast priced at three times its worth. Merry's recovered ponies later work at Bree under Bob, who treats them well. On departure the hobbits take leave of Nob and Bob; Sam's pocket holds apples given by them.
