Nobody ever accused David Eddings of consistency though.
I disagree, Mandorallen's fate was to be Ce'Nedra's champion, as Barak's was to defend Garion. Horse was to be Eriond's partner in the task of redeeming Angarak. Although the first seems to be a minor event, the second is the fulfillment of the entire series. Errand and Horse MUST be together or the prophecy cannot be fulfilled.
