Yes! Grew up with Morgans and now have retired with Morgans. One delight of Tolkien's writing is that he gets the horses right, or if they do something fantastical there is a reason for it.

Retiring with Morgans sound fantastic. And yes, the rightness of the horses (BILL THE PONY!!!!!) is amazing.

Yes, another horse lover here! I was especially obsessed as a little girl. I used to check out books of breeds from the library and sit on the floor and copy the pictures. Growing up in Hawaii, it was a little challenging to be around actual horses often but I was able to have riding lessons for a short time in middle school. Very fun to see these pictures. Also, shoutout to the “Horse Girls of Middle-earth” episode of Queer Lodgings podcast, that was a fun one.
