If the horse is still Shadowfax, Gandalf said
<blockquote>
Quote:<hr> Never before had any man mounted him...<hr></blockquote>
so it could be
any man. Of course, probably only Theoden would have called Shadowfax "mine." But I can't really seeing him failing to mount. I think that such a wise horseman would have succeeded or he'd have known that it was impossible and left Shadowfax alone.
Therefore, I'm guessing this might be Grima trying to mount the horse he was offered when he left Edoras.
<blockquote>
Quote:<hr> "Give him a horse if he wishes it," said Theoden. "And if any will bear him," said Eomer.<hr></blockquote>
