"Where now the horse and the rider?"
Eorl the Young rode south with wings of cavalry to aid Gondor as he promised, past dark Mirkwood and golden Lorien (and through a cloud of enchantment from the latter, I vaguely recall). Depending on how you read it, he is now ruling in Rohan, lying in a barrow, or beyond the circles of the world.
Alternately, Theoden the Old kept the same promise in the same manner, passing the White Mountains and the dark Druadan Forest (which many say is enchanted). He wound up on the Pelennor fields, then in a barrow at Edoras or in the Timeless Halls with his forefathers.
