Alls I know is that movie-Shadowfax looked more like a shampoo commercial than a horse, when he first appeared. Gandalf's whistle was one of the greatest details of the film, though, it's attention to things like that that make up for a lot of the films' shortcomings.<P>There definitely are a lot of horsey-people out there - does anyone know what gender Moviefax was? I don't know horses, but it looked pretty feminine to me. The Shadowfax in my head is definitely a little more silver-grey, and larger, fiercer and much more intimidating.<P>With the bridle/no bridle thing, I think they should've been more consistent. If Gandalf rides elf-fashion, why doesn't the elf? Or conversely if you're gonna put a harness on Legolas' horse, why not just forget the whole thing and put one on Gandalf's? And how does Legolas know about the <I>mearas</I> anyway?!?!?!
