I have a feeling it's more like:
Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin had their ponies scared off, but they were found by another horse: Fatty Lumpkin.
Aragorn, Legolas (and Gimli) had their horses, Arod and Hasufel, scared off, only to be found by another horse: Shadowfax.
So both groups had horses fall into the care of another..."uber-caretaker-equine" if you will.
