| SQUEE!! I loved it! I've never thought about Frea that way before, and having Ceorl rescue him was wonderful. I especially liked the last sentence! coon Author Reply: Frea is my dream horse (and his master isn't that bad either.) :D I thought it would be interesting to have Ceorl start out as a skinny kid :b, but one with the Rohirric love of horses, of course. And I imagine that Aldor told him he could join the Riders as soon as his skills were sharp enough, and he had a good mount. That's the reason he was looking so hard. :) I just had to stick that last sentence in. :) After all, we know what happened. :D | |

| I enjoyed this one also. Your horses are very endearing and I liked hearing of this part of the novel from Asfaloth's view-point. I also like that this lovely elf-horse took Bill under his care and enjoyed the pony's comapny. Just a small thought about this Bunny: Are you doing one of the dark horses of the Black Riders????? I note that these animals have been mentioned in both accounts so far and I was wondering if one of them gets a chapter. (Don't hit me too hard.) Author Reply: Thank you. I don't see how anyone could help liking Bill, and Asfaloth is no different. :) I'll take that as a request and see what I can do. :) | |

| I am really enjoying this story. You post so fast too! Keep writing! coon Author Reply: Ah, well. . . I got excited. :) The next chapter is almost finished, but after that, I've barely started! So, things may slow down now. :) Glad you're enjoying it! | |

| I promise not to critique your horse knowledge, but I don't think you could do that bad. You know more than you think. :) I like this idea. I'm glad you decided to pursue it. I seem to remember you working on it while I was there. It took a little bit to get it up, huh? It's turning out great though! I'm interested to see how you do with Brego. He should be interesting. Author Reply: You miss the point entirely! I WANT you to critique! But only if it's a glaring mistake. :) It wasn't so much taking a long time to get it written (the first two chapters have been waiting since before I even started Treason) as waiting for all my other stories to get out of the way. :) But two more horses are already finished and awaiting their turn. :) I've barely started Brego, though. Before I start any of these chapters (unless their my own invention of course) I have to do a lot of research to be sure I don't mess anything up. And then when I'm through with them, Coriel gives them the once over just to be sure I didn't get anything wrong. But she's more interested in Thranduil right now. :) | |

| Bill is perfect! He sounds so like Sam! This is wonderful and I am so glad that you decided to do it. I love this line especially: Most unnatural he seemed to me, but that’s merely the opinion of an uneducated country pony, and I mustn’t say aught against Mr. Frodo, as he’s my Sam’s most favorite of hobbits. I bow to your brilliance! You have out-done yourself yet again! Author Reply: I'm glad. Don't worry, I don't use that much slang all the time and my Southern accent isn't that thick. :) But as I'm also a part-time Western writer, it wasn't too foreign, and actually rather fun to write. But the spell-check sure hated it. :D Thank you. You may rise. :) | |

| You never do stop surprising me! I was thrilled to find this posting when I came on line tonihgt. I look forward to each and every chapter! This was the one little Bunny that I didn't think you would adopt. I am so glad that you decided to give it a good home. You also have improved upon it as when I mentioned this, I was thinking one horse! You, have made it far more entertaining. I look forward to the "accents" and to my special favorite, Bill the Pony! Thank you, Chigger! Author Reply: After you offered this rather strange little rabbit to me, I had decided that I had no room for one so unique as this. (Sort of a cottontail among white rabbits) But the thing hopped right into my pocket and followed me home. Ever since then he's been putting up quite a fuss. Coriel knew I'd cave; because he's just so cute! Once an idea is planted, they usually take root in my mind no matter how silly I tell myself it is. And then the next thing I know, I'm answering reviews on it. :) But I'm still working on at least three other more down-to-Middle-earth stories as well. This is my escape from seriousness after a long day of school. :) Next up, Asfaloth! | |

| Hmm, an interesting idea this. I think you should do Tom Bombadil's pony, Fatty Lumpkin. Might be interesting to hear from the pony of Tom Bombadil. Author Reply: OK, sorry it has taken me so long to answer this, but I needed to do a little research on Fatty Lumpkin. It had been so long since I looked at that part of the book that I had forgotten about him completely. But Tom Bombadil is, I believe, a little out of my range. So I don't think I'll be able to do Fatty. But then . . . that's what I told Grey Wonderer when she asked me if I could do this story. :) So my saying "no" isn't a guarantee. Thanks for the review! I live of feed-back. :) | |
