I really like "Shadowfax" !
And even though Aragorn has another horse in the beginning ... "Brego" is my second favorite, because he picks up Aragorn and rescues him from having to walk to helms deep ..

{To me Arwen was really watching over him ... she gave him her "grace" and IMO she sent the horse brego ... I am just a romantic ... [like how I rewrite the movie in my head??]

Shadowfax, without a doubt. Just too cool.

Asfaloth is also a cool horse, too - in the books and the movie.

And then Bill the Pony. How could we leave out Bill?



And welcome to CoE, Feaedhel!

Welcome to CoE Feaedhel

And there's Brego of course, although I'm not sure how I feel about him yet There probably will be more of him in the TTT SE DVD so we'll see. (Btw, there's also a Brego discussion thread on his role in TTT and such).

I wonder if we'll get to know more horses in ROTK. It's a pity that not much was said about Theoden's horse in the movie.

I like Asfaloth. He (I guess he's a he) has character, I think. In the horse version of TLotR, he's the hero, right? I mean it was Asfaloth who saved the Ring Bearer and kept the Ring from Sauron.

I'm gonna have to say Brego. He kissed Aragorn. Hehe... Aragorn gets kissed by TWO horses, Brego and Arwen!

Shadowfax is also an amazing horse, definitely my next fave.

Hmm.. from the movies, probably Asfaloth, since he's absolutely gorgeous racing away from the Nazgul. Plus, Liv says he was quite a spirited boy offscreen, too! I also like Shadowfax (what a great first scene in a movie), and Bill's just too darn cute to leave out.

Cool Favorite horse.

In the films, Shadowfax by far, and then poor old Bill the pony second.

If it was Arda in general, then Nahar first, and Shadowfax a close second!

Arod.

Beyond him, Shadowfax is a really awesome horse.

Shadowfax. He's the best whether in the books or the movies . I do think that Asfaloth in FotR was an extremely beautiful horse, but I don't think I could pick him as a favorite since there was so little of him.

Personally, I like Snowmane.

"Faithful servant,
Yet masters bane,
Light foots foal,
Swift Snowmane..."

Poor little horse made me cry.

Arod and Asfaloth, for different reasons. Asfaloth seems like a dream horse and a real hero, but Arod reminds me more of my horses...little, fast and fiery.

Hmmmmmm... maybe Shadowfax? Though Arod is pretty cool maybe I'm biased because Leggy rides him. Hasufel has a great name, and Asfaloth is a nice horsie, but nothing could compare with Shadowfax... all silvery and fast. The movie Shadowfax is rubbishy - it's not even grey! Hmph.

Undoubtedly Shadowfax is my favourite because this horse is noble and majestic in all its beauty.

No way, I call being Arod! *elbows Nil and EL out of the way* (I'd have to say that my very favorite horse all around is Bill, though. A real sweetie, and Sam took such good care of him after rescuing him from mr. Ferny... I wish he'd been featured more in the movie. )

My favorite is Arod, I've loved him since I first read the books, and he's really beautiful in the Movie. Shadowfax is great too though.

Talking

Horses! Woo-hoo!

Hey you guys! Newsie here, just saying my share about the ponies

They are all beautiful! Especially how half of the ones used in the movies were andalusians! I love them!

I just can't have one favorite. Bill, Shadowfax, Asfaloth, Brego, Arod, Hasaful, Snowmane, and ofcourse the yet to be seen Windfola and Firefoot. (I guess y'all can tell I'm one of those horse freaks )


p.s.-since I'm new among y'all veterans, maybe you could help me out if you can. Any hints on what to do on here would be swell. I don't really know what I'm doing yet! Thanx bunches!

The Witch King's horse. I couldn't imagine a better horse for the leader of the Ringwraiths.

Firefoot was seen in TTT. He is Eomer's horse - a beautiful grey-speckled stallion

I actually don't like Shadowfax that much. He is a cool horse, but when Gandalf & co ride to Edoras, right outside the wall, you see that it holds his head down to go up easier. It turns a proud way of walking into a lazy sunday-afternoon trip. Also, he's white, not silvery grey. I know these are ofcourse but details, but aren't details what makes a film good?

I like Asfaloth, the first one that is (the one you see through Frodo's eyes). He's just beautiful and really has the looks of an Elvish horse.

I also like Brego. He's a nice horse, well trained for the purposes of the Dunedain, he thinks of his own.

The horse thread is in Movie Discussion ("Who is your favourite horse?") - I will move this thread to that Forum, and merge the two.

Fasten your seatbelts.




EDIT - Moved and merged.
