Horses of Middle-earth
Horses are an important element in the fantasy world of [[Middle-earth]] created by [[J. R. R. Tolkien]].

==Races of horses==
===Mearas===
The '''Mearas''' were a breed of wild [[horse]]s in the north of [[Middle-earth]] in the [[J.R.R. Tolkien]] [[legendarium]]. Their [[mortality]] is equal to Men and their intelligence and [[strength]] are extraordinary.
They descend from [[Felaróf]], who was tamed by the first [[King of Rohan]], [[Eorl]].  Ever since, they have been been the mounts of the King and Princess of Rohan alone.  During the War of the Ring, however, [[Gandalf| Gandalf the Grey]] tamed [[Shadowfax]], lord of the Mearas at the end of the [[Third Age]].


==Individual horses==
===Arod===
Arod was the horse of [[Legolas]]. He was the grey/white horse given to Legolas by the Riders of [[Rohan]] in ''The Two Towers''.

===Asfaloth===
(contracted; show full)

===Windfola===
[[Éowyn]]'s Meara grey horse. Whilst disguised as Dernhelm, Éowyn (with Merry) rode to the Battle of the Pelennor Fields on Windfola.
