Description
The Mearas (singular Mearh) were a breed of wild horses in the north of Middle-earth. Their lifespan is similar to Men's and their intelligence and strength are extraordinary. They surpass normal horses in the same degree that Elves surpass Men.
They descend from Felaróf, who was tamed by the first King of Rohan, Eorl the Young, and perhaps ultimately from Nahar, horse of the Vala Oromë. Ever since, they have been the mounts of the King and Princes of Rohan alone. During the War of the Ring, however, Gandalf the Grey's friendship with Shadowfax, lord of the Mearas, led to Shadowfax allowing Gandalf to ride him at the end of the Third Age.

Still with 'The Lord Of The Rings'...How could I, the horse whisperer, let Shadowfax, The King of Horses, go by without making an image of him:-)
Thank you for visiting my humble stable...err gallery:-)If you have left a comment and maybe an apple for the horses then a big Thanx for that too>chuckle<
Luv Ya!!
