I quite agree that it is nice Aragorn had someone to bond with.

I have to agree with Bb about the juxtaposition. Still, its nice to get another pov. I suppose Helen must be our resident horse expert, so we now know who to turn to if we have any equine questions.

One that springs to mind is whether the Rohirric horses could have charged down a 45% scree slope without all losing their footing & rolling to the bottom in a tangled bloody mass....
