Haldirriel writes: My friends and I just returned from touring the north island of New Zealand. Whilst there, we were informed that Jane Abbott has some of the horses from the movie and offers tours. We were able to pet and take pictures of Asfaloth, Brego, Hasufel, Gandalph’s cart pony and 2 Ringwraith horses. Jane showed us pictures from filming and told stories. She welcomes tours and for more info you can go to the website moviehorsesnz.com. Our thanks to Jane & Karen for a wonderful and informative afternoon!!

Seems one of the horses that played Shadowfax is for sale, anyone interested? From the website: This horse is Blanco – the genuine Shadowfax double in the movie Lord of the Rings. He is a Liberty trained trick horse trained by world renowned horse trainer Don Reynolds. He has been used in Hercules TV series filmed in NZ 2004. Credited trainer Wayne McCormack worked on these two films with Blanco. Blanco also worked on commercials and has done live shows. Due to overseas work commitments….a regretful sale of this great horse. [More]
