"...words spoken to one's horse were sacrosanct..."

Ah, the relationship between the Rohirrim and their horses. Beautiful portrayal of Eomer the Man.

Thanks for writing! It only makes sense that Rohirrim would have this kind of relationship with their horses.

"Beautiful portrayal of Eomer the Man."

Thanks! I have always loved Eomer as a character and Karl Urban just brought him to life! A warrior, but a warrior with a heart and respect for others.

Thanks again for taking the time to write. It really means a lot to me.

he could feel his father close by as he tended his horse, a time they had always shared in his youth. Tears that he could let no one see fell unabated. All that they had lost; all that was now expected of him.

Dear Éomer, so young to rule so many. It's lovely that he can confide his deepest secrets to Windfleet.

Thank you so much! He is now King of the Horselords. Would you expect anything other? He would always confide in his horse. As he has a long reign and is known after as Eomer Eadig (Eomer the Blessed) he succeeded marvelously.

CONFESSION: All I know about horses I learned from Trixie Belden books. I check that knowledge on the internet and it is always right. :-))
