Windfola was the horse that carried Éowyn (in the guise of Dernhelm) the long miles from Dunharrow to the Pelennor Fields, secretly accompanied by Meriadoc Brandybuck. Windfola was in the charge of the Rohirrim into the Battle of the Pelennor, but at the onset of the Lord of the Nazgûl, the horse went mad with fear, threw his riders, and fled in panic. Left behind by their steed, Éowyn and Merry brought down the Witch-king, but by then Windfola had left them far behind him on the battlefield. Notes 1 The last we hear of Windfola is at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields on 15 March III 3019. Encountering the Winged Terror of the Lord of the Nazgûl, Windfola threw his riders, Éowyn and Merry Brandybuck, and fled. We're not told whether the riderless horse survived the battle, but it seems at least possible that he lived to return to the green fields of Rohan. See also...
