Yeah, I was rather perturbed that Arwen didn't give Asfaloth his head. And using that curb bit! Plus, did you other equestrians notice that she didn't keep her heels down! I ride huntseat equitation and that bothers me when they don't keep their heels down and also when they keep their hands up instead of down right above the saddle. Picky, I know!

And no, horses do not stink! I love the smell of horses! I own a Paint mare named Sonny's Baby Jay, Patches is her barn name. She's wonder ful to ride, both with and w/o a saddle.

Now to go to The Silmarillion & see if I can find out about Noldoran Elves and their use of saddle. This Noldoran elf prefers her side-saddle! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
