Do remeber that the whole at-the-last-minute-old-western-calvery thing was a contrivance of PJ not Tolkien. I so wish Eomer had been given his proper role at helms deep.

I understand your befuddlement Arod. Did anyone else notice that Legolas used a saddle in the movie instead of ridding elven style, aka bareback. Such is the leven way with all good beasts. At least...
