    In the Lord of the Rings films, most of the Riders of Rohan were actually women with fake beards because when the production put out a call for local experienced riders, a lot of women showed up with their own horses.

      In the forest nearby, every time I see someone riding a horse it’s always a woman. I’ve never seen a man riding a horse there.

      in italy we have a saying that goes ‘donna barbuta, sempre piaciuta’.

      translates to ‘bearded woman, always well liked’

      Considering Eowyn’s story, that’s actually hilarious. Girl, you ain’t special, ALL the riders are women disguised as men 😂

      Think of just how cool this would be, esp if you’re a LotR fan: you get to ride around all day on your horse, hang out with the cast, and show up in the movie.

      Its funny because ALWAYS though there was something slightly off about the riders but could never quite work out what it was 😂

      Growing up in 2000’s New Zealand the story that I was told, is that all the men who could ride were farmers and busy with lambing at the time so they had to use the wives/daughters

      Funny it means pretty any one of those Rohan riders could’ve finished that Nazgûl

      Éomer – “These young men fill me with hope. Plus some other emotions which are weird and deeply confusing.”
