Good one, Amarie! I had forgotten that Thorin's party rode horses. That would also explain (to me) why Gimli was so opposed to the riding of the horses of the Rohirrim- they are a tall people, so they aren't required to have many ponies. They do have ponies (Merry rode one), but all the horses with Eomer's party were full-sized horses.
