Both groups lost their horses/ponies at some point of the story? (FSMP at Bree, ALG on the outskirts of Fangorn Forest after their encounter with Saruman/Gandalf/Saruman's spectre/Gandalf's spectre/whoever it may have been...)

Pitchwife's connection is excellent, but I'll have a go.

Perhaps I would be right in saying that the third-person narrative only follows the four hobbits and the three hunters? It does not follow Gandalf or Boromir when they are alone. I do not remember if Gimli, Legolas, and Aragorn are ever followed separately; maybe this is why you grouped them together.

(but the narrative also follows Fatty Bolger, and maybe more)

Pitchwife is on the right track, but I'd like him to give a more precise answer.

Hmm, the only thing I see connecting the dwarf to the other characters is Orcrist.

So, maybe they all had something made in Gondolin.

Thorin with Orcrist.
Galadriel with the Elessar.
Tuor had... Idril? Or something else, he did live there after all.
And Maglor...bah, no idea at all there.

EDIT: somehow I feel Lommy is correct.
