Andrew, Oliver, and Castor were galloping on their horses at full speed. Oliver was the one in the lead and set the pace, which the other two said was exaggerated, however, neither slowed down nor asked anything.
Andrew and Castor were aware that there was a reason why Oliver was instigating them to move so quickly, they just didn't know what it was and it wasn't the time to ask it.
After what seemed like 1 hour of running at top speed, Oliver finally stopped. Andrew and Castor also stopped and quickly dismounted from their horses to feed and water them, as the horses were panting from exhaustion.
These animals could be trained to run at high speeds, but not to do so for long periods of time. While the horses rested between water and food, Andrew and Castor approached Oliver and asked, "What happened?"
