Would someone be so kind as to look up and add the quote regarding Shadowfax standing before the Lord of the Nazgul at the gate of Minas Tirith? --[[User:Ted C|Ted C]] 17:05, 24 October 2006 (CDT)

:Done:

{{quote|. . .all fled before his face. All save one. There waiting, silent and still in the space before the Gate, sat Gandalf upon Shadowfax: Shadowfax who alone among the free horses of the earth endured the terror, unmoving, steadfast as a graven image in Rath Dínen.|[[The Siege of Gondor]]}}

:Notice it says ''free'' horses. --[[User:Narfil Palùrfalas|Narfil Palùrfalas]] 17:33, 24 October 2006 (CDT)

::As upposed to 'enslaved horses' in the service of Mordor like those used by the Nazgul in their 'Black Rider'-form? {{unsigned|Aerandir}}

:::Aerandir brings up a good point. At first I thought it meant those horses not bearing riders, but I bet it does mean the horses that were not enslaved by [[Sauron]]. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 19:17, 24 October 2006 (CDT)

==Adaptations==
A couple notes for the Adaptations section. The 1980 Rankin/Bass Return of the King adaptation features Shadowfax, though it incorrectly depicts him with a full harness. In Peter Jackson's film, meanwhile, there are a couple notable deviations from the book. One, Gandalf rides Shadowfax into the Silent Street-right into the tomb of the stewards, in fact-instead of sending him back to his stable. Two, in the extended version, Shadowfax is present during the confrontation between Gandalf and the Witch-king, which is relocated to a higher point within Minas Tirith.[[Special:Contributions/172.68.189.17|172.68.189.17]] 00:47, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
