I think the pony was back at the barn for that part of the scene myself, but think you like ;~D

I think I read in one of the trade magazines that Sam, not knowing that Bill was lactose intolerant, had given Bill some milk to drink about 15 minutes prior to the whole Crebain incident. So when they came swooping in Bill was, thankfully, "off-screen." It was a good thing to, because our Fellowship would not have gotten Bill hidden in time and, as they say, the jig would have been up.

Well, as luck would have it... the jig was up anyway. The birds saw them all crouching under the rocks anyway, and flew home to daddy with the news, so the pony, upset tummy or no (still thinking about that one) would not have been the bane of the fellowship.

No, there are no white riders... only white horses... A minor detail change really, for that scene which already had little resemblance to the book, except that there was a river involved. The white horses were the best part of it!
