SpM, well back in the day knights would bring several horses with them onto battle (2-3 usually). One would be carrying all the armor, one would be the 'battle-horse' and there would be another one...sort of like a spare horse.
But, I don't know about knights bringing to battle a horse and an eagle.

1. Where Aragorn says "for Frodo" with tears in his eyes as he charges off was spectacular ! Also, of course the fight scene was fantastic.

I also enjoyed having both Merry and Pippin at the battle at the Black Gate. I heard some people grumbling about how Merry's injured and he's not supposed to be out there. But I like the visual symbolism, plus I felt Aragorn's speech and the entire scene was done well. I absolutely loved how when Aragorn said 'For Frodo' Merry and Pippin were the first one's to charge out there. With only Pippin there (as it was done in the books) I don't think the scene would have been as effective.
