"I thought that, in the beginning, when the hobbits went through the forest the "seemed alive" that those might turn out to be the Entwives...but nooooo! LOL. But I believe that the mystery of the Entwives is one that have stumped many of us (including me...although I am only fourteen, so...), but I believe that may have been Tolkien's intention, because he was so good at resolving so many other parts of the story"

I think the huorns in the Old Forest were not Entwives. If you read a description of them, they are bent and brown, resembling 'their' trees, which were ones that flowered and bore fruit. I also think that the entwivfe question was supposed to be the topic of speculation and not of knowledge, because there is a chance that they could have gone to the vastness of the East, but not the South (too much of Sauron's influence there), an area which is not described or dealt with in any significant amount.
