horses of middle earth - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I was reading my copy of Bilbo's Last Song yesterday, and the illustrations that I'm sure said included Galadriel, pictured her on a horse. Is this just for travelling, and likely to be a borrowed horse, then? Or is it the artist's own ideas?

So, Rohan supplied all the horses? Does this include Elves? Everywhere I have seen Elves travelling to the Grey Havens, they have been on horses. I do not know if this is true to the book or Tolkien's ideas... but did they actually have horses supplied to them then, or did they in fact walk?
