I thought I read somewhere at Sir Ian's site that two horses played Shadowfax, but I could be wrong.<P>And since Tolkien seems to have modelled Rohan on Scandinavia, the horses should have been stout and shaggy, not delicate and graceful like an arab or even andalusian... Shadowfax is an exception though, I suppose <P>I was trying to check the gender of Moviefax (there's an Australian film called "The Silver Brumby" about a wild stallion that is played in the film by a mare, so darn funny) but failed to glimpse anything conclusive
