Tonight I wrote a lengthy entry about my thoughts on the LOTR soundtracks, and the way the three books are written. I have discovered the idea that the Fellowship focuses on Hobbits, and the Two Towers is focused on the Race of Men.

You can find my very long entry here.

And, while I am still in that "Lord of the Rings" mood, here are some interesting things I found on both Brego and Shadowfax, my two favorite horses.

***I shall have to search for decent pictures tomorrow!! It is late.***

Brego

Brego is Aragorn's horse in The Two Towers. The horse is named after the Second King of Rohan.


· The Rohan people, also know as the Rohirrim, are known for their horses.

· The armored helmets of the Riders of Rohan feature flowing horse manes and their reverence to the animals is reflected in the architecture of Edoras.

Shadowfax

Shadowfax is Gandalf's steed in The Two Towers. His breed is an Andalusion. Merry-go-round horses worldwide are modeled after the stunning breed of horse.


· Some scenes in the trilogy, as many as 250 horses were used at once.

· There were 70 handmade saddles created especially for the trilogy of movies. Each of these saddles are embossed and carved with Middle-earth history, aged and painted.
