Gandalf was famous for carrying all kinds of oddments in his pockets (in which he resembled Gollum, who actually was his nephew, that's why Gandalf was unwilling to kill him, nepotism, that's it). Remember him carrying that dwarvish key for almost a century? So, once Gandalf had accidentaly stolen a carrot from Gerontius (Old) Took's table, and since than it was in one of his many pockets. And Shadowfax was just very fond of carrots, especially old ones "with good ol' flavour" as he thought of them. Gandalf happened to produce one in the right place at the right moment and bribed Shadowfax with it.
