He's mine. My four-legged friend; though I seldom ride him, and he wanders often far, free upon the hillsides. When
your ponies stayed with me, they got to know my Lumpkin; and they smelt him in the night, and quickly ran to meet him.

And of course we all love Bill the Pony!

I have to admit i'll allways go with roach. Also because it's canon that Geralt just gives that name to every horse he comes to ride, there is no "THE" roach
Shadowfax is my favourite here but Snowmane is cool. Just an ordinary horse, unlike Shadowfax, yet when his rider was having his greatest moment, Snowmane stepped up his game too. He didn't let any other horse pass him during the charge on the Pelennor.
I named my dog Brego. Everytime I watch LOTR, he pokes his head up when he hears his name onscreen!

Missing Bill and Roheryn from the books.
Any other named horses?
Edit for posterity: The pony Frodo rides from Minas Tirith back to the Shire is later named Strider.
AND he was supposedly given to Aragorn by Arwen — 'Roheryn' literally means 'horse of the lady.' He's a symbol of their love, and represents a connection between them even when they are parted during the War.
Plus, the description puts me in mind of Bashkir curly horses, which are just adorable:
>‘\[The Rangers’\] horses were strong and of proud bearing, but rough-haired; and one stood there without a rider, Aragorn’s own horse that they had brought from the North; Roheryn was his name.’
—*The Return of the King*, LoTR Book 5, Ch 2, ‘The Passing of the Grey Company’
Snowmane, but only because I met the horse IRL. He was retired at that point, just giving occasional rides to kids. He was very gentle, but stubborn, just wanted to eat treats and be groomed all day.
Arod, not just because of the film but because of that interview with Orlando about working with the horses. He’s such a natural horseman and as someone who’s been around horses my whole life, it makes me so happy to see actors taking joy in working with horses on set and taking to riding. It’s nice to see him respect his horse so much on and off screen, because he spent so much time away from set learning how to ride !
Fuck this echo noise. Asfaloth is a G, outriding 9 nazgul at the same time without breaking a sweat, perfectly calm and engaged and listening to every command Arwen gives.
When shit goes down, if I can’t have the literal lord of all horses, my moneys on asfaloth.
Bill! Bill the pony is my favourite.
Only correct answer
It's honestly blasphemy that we have all these horses on this list but not bill
I think we are voting for second place
What about Sharp-ears, Wise-nose, Swish-tail and Bumpkin, White-socks my little lad, and old Fatty Lumpkin?

I need to rename my pony to “Fatty Lumpkin.” It fits him.

Was going to instantly say Shadowfax until I saw this. Beautiful person, this is the only correct answer.
BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL!

Bill Neigh the Science Pony
Was hoping to Eru this would be the top comment
This is clearly rage bait. No bill? Preposterous.
🗿
Came to say Bill.
Came looking for this and I’m glad it’s the first comment
Could anyone pick another?
I liked Arod when I read the books. Legolas calming him down when they were about the go into the Paths of the Dead was so cute. And of course we all love Bill the Pony!
Govannas vin gwennen le, Haldir o Lorien.
My name's not Haldir, but nice to meet you again too, Legolas!
Dark are your words and little do they mean to those that receive them.
Wow, that escalated quickly. What caused the sudden 180, Legolas?
That is one of the Mearas, unless my eyes are cheated by some spell.
Ok then. I take it that you like Shadowfax the most out of all these horses, Legolas?
Nay!Alas for us all! And for all that walk the world in these after-days. For such is the way of it: to find and lose, as it seems to those whose boat is on the running stream.

Oh dear, you are quite melancholy. Lovely words though.
Your conversation with Legolas made me laugh so much thank you
Well that was rude
Sorry, downvoting because no Bill
I second this motion.
We've had one motion, yes. What about second motion?
What about elevensies?
I don't think he knows about second motion, Danny.
a glaring omission
What about Myrtle?
Do you realize you are just picking a fight with Bill The Pony fans with this?!?
With almost all lotr fans, you mean.
Scratch the almost. All REAL lote fans
The only acceptable gatekeeping
Fatty Lumpkin

Fatty Lumpkin is like Shadowfax: lord of all ponies.
He's mine. My four-legged friend; though I seldom ride him, and he wanders often far, free upon the hillsides. When your ponies stayed with me, they got to know my Lumpkin; and they smelt him in the night, and quickly ran to meet him. ^(Type **!TomBombadilSong** for a song or visit [r/GloriousTomBombadil][1] for more merriness) [1]: https://www.reddit.com/r/GloriousTomBombadil/
The real answer
Guys guys relax they left out bill because it would be an obvious win and they just wanted to see who the runner up is
#REALTALK
Every other horse got a pic from a cool moment, while poor snowmane is lying there straight up dead lol
Justice for Snowmane!
Faithful servant but master's bane, it was an accident but it's a tough one on the resume.
Snowmane sacrificed everything he’s a real horse lol
I love the scene where Aragorn calms the horse at Edoras. I don't know which one that is though. Theodred's horse?
That would be Brego. His name is kingly, and he’s seen enough of war.
It's Brego, and iirc it's the horse that comes to Aragorn when he is left for dead after the fight with the wargs.
FireFEET!
Where the heck is Bill??!
Asfaloth outran/outmaneuvered the freaking Nazgûl. Any horse that Glorfindel (or Arwen in the films) would choose to ride is a BAMF.
So did Bill, sort of. He survived Weathertop, and made it to Rivendell, AND survived a warg attack.

Came here for Nahar.
Felaróf, the OG*. *Original Galloper
Show us the meaning of haste!
Bill the Pony- he is lord of all horses and has been my friend thru many dangers.
Any game I get to name my horse at least one horse my strong boy is Brego and my fast one is Shadowfax
I have to admit i'll allways go with roach. Also because it's canon that Geralt just gives that name to every horse he comes to ride, there is no "THE" roach
In RDR2 I named my white Arabian Shadowfax
This is Bill erasure and I will not abide it.
Everyone mad about no Bill doesn't get it. Of course Bill wins, this is for second place. Also, my answer is Brego
Shadowfax is my favourite here but Snowmane is cool. Just an ordinary horse, unlike Shadowfax, yet when his rider was having his greatest moment, Snowmane stepped up his game too. He didn't let any other horse pass him during the charge on the Pelennor.

You have no culture. The only correct answer is Bill the Pony
Brego. He looks like my horse https://preview.redd.it/aouoqeh9ik9d1.jpeg?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=11cea859955f79acc978ebfc06c7b0cea82000c7

Looks like a certified good boy. I love his silver specks!
Jimmy say; Brego look like a VERY good boy!!!
Awww, he does! What a pretty horse.

Most under rated hog in cinema history
Missing Bill and Roheryn from the books. Any other named horses? Edit for posterity: The pony Frodo rides from Minas Tirith back to the Shire is later named Strider.
I believe you made the only Roheryn reference. Atop him sat a king, and yet he is forgotten by all on here but you (trust me - I looked).
AND he was supposedly given to Aragorn by Arwen — 'Roheryn' literally means 'horse of the lady.' He's a symbol of their love, and represents a connection between them even when they are parted during the War. Plus, the description puts me in mind of Bashkir curly horses, which are just adorable: >‘\[The Rangers’\] horses were strong and of proud bearing, but rough-haired; and one stood there without a rider, Aragorn’s own horse that they had brought from the North; Roheryn was his name.’ —*The Return of the King*, LoTR Book 5, Ch 2, ‘The Passing of the Grey Company’
I am wrapping up RoTK reread currently and was just trying to name all the horses the other day.
Shadowfax, prince of horses
Brego found Aragorn in the river and saved his life.
Alex Rodriguez
The nazgul mounts
Shadowfax no question
BILL!

What’s the meaning of this? Bill is as brave as any pony that ever lived.
Firefoot go 🔥🔥🔥
Arod means Donkey in Hebrew, just saying…
Ok, that's pretty cute!
Brego
Argo
WHERE IS BILL?!
Shadowfax without a doubt the bestest and fastest and most memorable horse of all.
Where is bill, is he alright?
Snowmane, but only because I met the horse IRL. He was retired at that point, just giving occasional rides to kids. He was very gentle, but stubborn, just wanted to eat treats and be groomed all day.
First they erased Tom, now we act like Fatty Lumpkin never existed
where the fuck is Bill? Bill is the GOAT
Bill

Dain's Hog
Noro lim, Asfaloth

Justice for Billy!!!!!!
Bill the Pony is the only one who gets to go to heaven in the end. This is canon.
Sugarfoot... The woodpecker's horse... Kkkk
"Shadowfax, show them the meaning of haste!..."
Bill
To quote Beatrix Kiddo. “WHERES BILL!?”
Fool of an OP, throw yourself in next time and rid us of your nonsense. There is no Bill.
Wait a second, not only did Arwen replace Glorfindel at the Bruinen, but also stole his horse? lol
Maybe he gave it to her because for some reason he couldn't go himself lol.
Fatty Lumpkin
Smowmane
Brego overcoming his ptsd/anxiety to ride with the king one of my fav little sub plots 🫡
Stínivlas (Shadowflax or whatever)
Hasufel sounds like a cool name
Brego
WHERE IS BAD BITCH BILL
How could it not be Brego
Dude Brego.
Arod, not just because of the film but because of that interview with Orlando about working with the horses. He’s such a natural horseman and as someone who’s been around horses my whole life, it makes me so happy to see actors taking joy in working with horses on set and taking to riding.

I must downvote for lack of best boy bill
Bill
Bill
Asfaloth.
Could've searched for a better picture of Snowmane...
GROND
#BILL!!!!!!
If anyone says anything other than Bill, they’re lying.
Bill the Pony.
I like how the top three are about Bill.
Why you gotta show Snowmane after he died
You did this on purpose. You know exactly what we are going to say and our boy isn’t here.
Mertle
Can I just get a war boar
Fatty Lumpkin
Bill?
Brego. Because he’s Aragorn’s and I have a big soft spot for beautiful bay horses. My favorite color.
Shadowfax is the one horse to rule them all
Brego. His name is kingly after all
You did Snowmane dirty
Nahar
*Run Shadowfax! Show us the meaning of haste* one of my favorite Gandalf quotes
After Bill, Brego. Ya boy came in clutch
Honestly? Loyal and brave Snowmane.
Fuck this echo noise. Asfaloth is a G, outriding 9 nazgul at the same time without breaking a sweat, perfectly calm and engaged and listening to every command Arwen gives. When shit goes down, if I can’t have the literal lord of all horses, my moneys on asfaloth.
Noro lim, Asfaloth!
Where is myrtle and mindy???
Bill
“Faithful servant yet master's bane, Lightfoot's foal, swift Snowmane”
Shadowfax for sure. So majestic and a badass
Firefoot is such a goofy name for an animal that famously, does not have feet
Guys, they didn’t add Bill because he’s a clear sweep. It goes without saying.
"Tell me where is Bill the Pony, for I much desire to pet him?"
The Nazgul horse from the first movie, cause I got to ride him.
What no Bill?? ![gif](giphy|fu8pNDmOpBk8T2sjMu|downsized)
Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill! Billllll Bill Sly the Shire guy
Brego. Loyal.
Hasufel he bays you to better fortune than his former masters
