The People mentioned on GRAY p84 are not Pentans but descended from a fusion of Zarkosite goat herders and the Kalrius (Pentans). At the time they moved into Yuthuppa, the Targos had both horses and goats.

There's nothing to prevent True Kargzanti from using wagons.

I do not believe all Pentans were Starlight Wanderers. All I've stated is that a tribe of Pentans became fused with Zarkosites to become the Starlight Ancestors. Most Pentans were unchanged by this event, then and now.
Secondly, the Star Gazers are only a subset of the Targos (in the same way that the Kolati are a subset of the Heortlings).
