- "I'll have a word with Running Horse later. He taught me so much about herbs. I'm sure he'll know about it."
- ―Rising Moon about Running Horse Long Shadows, page 195
- When Stone Song calls a meeting, Jaypaw sees an elder and concludes that it was Running Horse, of whom Rising Moon spoke of so highly. He wonders if Rising Moon had mentioned the horsetail to the elder yet. When it is time to cast stones, Running Horse chooses to stay with Cloudy Sun at the lake, stating that they are too old to make the trip up to the mountains. However, the side that chooses to leave the lake wins by a slight majority, so the cats prepare to leave. Rising Moon is hesitant to leave, but she decides to contribute to the group and look for herbs with Running Horse. Both Running Horse and Cloudy Sun appear reluctant to leave, but support each other during the journey.
