Also known as: Lord Of All Horses
The greatest of the Mearas, the royal horses of Rohan descended from the steed of Eorl the Young. Shadowfax was silver-grey, untamed, and could outrun any horse in Middle-earth. Theoden gave Gandalf leave to take any horse, not expecting anyone to master Shadowfax, but Gandalf tamed him through understanding rather than force. Shadowfax bore Gandalf throughout the War of the Ring, needing no saddle or bridle, and was the only horse brave enough to face the Nazgul without terror. According to tradition, Shadowfax sailed with Gandalf to the Undying Lands.
