Reading the prologue (sp?) of lotr it says that Bandobras Took was big enough to ride a horse and was only surpassed by merry and pippin in size. So that would mean that Merry and Pippin could ride a horse too. So why does Merry accompany the king on a pony? Was there no other horse availeble for him or something? Kinda silly if you ask me really. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
