Oddly, my mental picture of Rohan has been hugely influenced by the movies. Living in NE as I do, I always struggled to find good riding trails; too many young woods with no trails at all. The more I rode, the fewer fields I rode in.

Imagine riding on a golf course--

What a good way to die young.

But then, I can't picture Kentucky Bluegrass very well, either. It always has pristine white-board fences... not very rohirric.

Here in RI we have turf farms. Not very rohirric, either.

Perhaps something more like what the buffaloes run on out west...?
