That is pretty funny, but Australia is Down-Under, so maybe...?? Cheap movie people. How come noone's as picky as us? I really hope they didn't 'have a mare' for TTT.<P>Arod's harness might have been a hassle to get rid of, but Legolas could've returned it to the Rohirrim for them to use on another horse. Also, the Elves really do love animals (if it gets cold enough), and maybe Legolas would have seen a bit and bridle as somewhat cruel. I know I do. You're right, though, Mr. Scary Nazgul, since Shadowfax was so untameable, it would have been a much greater transgression to put a harness on him for the movie. Next to that the Arod thing is very minor.<P>I liked the way that the movie made Shadowfax seem like a god - "Lord of Horses", the way that even Gimli bowed his head towards the horse. Even in the book he is a very similar character to Huan. Nice touch, PJ.
