Glorfindel's influence is my stance. See how Legolas, even though not as exalted in spiritual status as Glorfindel, was able to get the normal horse Arod to enter the Paths of the Dead.

Also, the mearas are represented as only being tied to the Rohirrim (Éothéod).

It was upon Felaróf that Eorl rode to the field of Celebrant; for that horse proved as long lived as Men, and so were his descendants. These were the mearas, who would bear no one but the King of the Mark or his sons, until the time of Shadowfax.
