Lord of the Mearas
Chief of the Mearas, the great horses of Rohan, and the swiftest horse of his day. Taken from Théoden's herds by Gandalf in T.A. 3018 and afterwards given to him outright, he carried the wizard across half of Middle-earth in the War of the Ring, and alone of all beasts stood unmoved before the Witch-king at the broken gate of Minas Tirith.
Father of the Mearas
The wild white horse that killed Léod, lord of the Éothéod, and was tamed by Léod's son Eorl as the price of his father's death. He carried Eorl to the Field of Celebrant, lived as long as his master, and was the forefather of the Mearas, the horses of the kings of Rohan.
The white horse of King Théoden of Rohan, who carried him from Edoras to Helm's Deep and on to the Pelennor Fields. Struck by a dart of the Witch-king, he fell and crushed his master beneath him, and was buried on the field under a mound that stayed green ever after.
