Shadowfax is the magnificent white horse Gandalf is given by the Rohan in JRR Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. The Lord of the Rings is a novel that is six books published in three volumes. Shadowfax is mentioned or appears in books 2, 3, 5 and 6. There is also some discussion in the Appendices. Shadowfax is a Meara, the greatest breed of horses descended from Nahar, the white horse of Orome, the Vala. Shadowfax is a silver stallion, and as for the Mearas, no one but the King of Rohan can ride them. However, Gandalf tamed Shadowfax to his hand. The first time Gandalf took him, Theoden was not happy about it, he hadn't imagined that when he told Gandalf that he could borrow a horse that he would have the audacity to take one of the Mearas. After driving off Wormtongue, Theoden made a gift of Shadowfax to The White Rider.

The horse kent to him by Éomer is a dark-grey horse named Hasufel ("grey-coat"). Aragorn's own horse, which the Grey Company brought with them from the North later in the War, was named Roheryn. In the Peter Jackson's film, they picked a brown horse to play Hasufel while paradoxically keeping its name, Roheryn does not appear, and Aragorn instead gets a newly invented bay horse named Brego.
