Then Círdan led them to the Havens, and there was a white ship lying, and upon the quay beside a great grey horse stood a figure robed all in white awaiting them. As he turned and came towards them Frodo saw that Gandalf now wore openly upon his hand the Third Ring, Narya the Great, and the stone upon it was red as fire.

Gandalf caressed him. 'It is a long way from Rivendell, my friend,' he said; 'but you are wise and swift and come at need. Far let us ride now together, and part not in this world again!'

These two quotes sprung to mind...
Like Obloguy I cant take anything like 'The Tolkien Companion' or anything else written by David Day serious!! But I have always felt certain that Shadowfax went over the Sea. The two quotes above argues on that point, I think. Secondly Shadowfax is stated in LOTR to be one of the Mearas, desendted from Nahar, the divine horse of Orome - that speaks for that Shadowfax was allowed to sail to Eressea or Aman. Thirdly he was probably the most valuable possesion of Gandalf at the end of the 3rd Age - And I think he had pretty big word to say ;o)
