Apparently there were two Shadowfaxes; the horse used in long shots was called Demero and died of melanoma several years ago. The horse that just died very recently was called Blanco; he was the one used in close-ups, and is the one seen in that magnificent scene in The Two Towers when Shadowfax is called by Gandalf, and we see him run from a distance and right up to Ian McKellen. Done in one take, no less!!!

Rest In Peace, Blanco!!!

Sorry if this Post isn’t correctly formatted, I have never started a post to FR before!!

Is news of your demise premature or should we offer prayers for your family?

Rumors of your death are, one hopes, greatly exaggerated...

What a shame. Beautiful horse. Glad his suffering is over. Anyone know how old he was?
