Excellent! If only someone had told Eowynn that she didn't need to sneak in to ride with the Rohirrim.

huh this is amazing to know!

This make me think about my brother. When he was assaigned to escort the Swedish king and queen as part of his military service he was the only guy among a lot of women because he was the only man who didn't sit on the horse as "a sack of potatoes"

I've only watched one of the films. was having a party at mine and this guy said he was one of the black evil horse riders. cue youtube and he points himself out, cue the end credits and his name isn't on it. he says well i didn't want to get acknowledged. turns out he was a plumber, not on the set just a plumber and a bad one. mwa mwa mwaaaaa. buuurrrnnnnnnnn

My mum's best friend worked on LotR as a rider for about 15 months! She was a very experienced horse rider. My uncle was a set painter (he's worked on all Peter Jackson's movies actually) and my mother and I were hobbit extras. When gandalf comes into town on the cart and horse and sets of fireworks for the kids I was the little girl in the middle wearing pigtails and a blue dress, holding my hands facing out but all rigid as a jumped up and down (embarrassing... I was only 6 tho). My best friend at the time named Robin was the boy on the far left with curly white blond hair. Funnily enough he was the only one who had hair that was curly enough to not need a wig! When the hobbit was being filmed one of my work colleagues was an elf extra, and he worked all 3 movies apparently, as his full time job was working remotely for a Canadian business, so he'd work nights for them and do the movie shoots during the day. I also dated someone from weta workshop, their Xmas parties are wild!!

why?

So technically they should have been dwarves

Not surprising.

How fun !

finally, a use for horse girls

No wonder all the riders seemed so good looking!

Horse girls represent!❤
