Lord of the Rings Horses

Brego

In the movie, Brego is the name of Aragorn's horse--in the book Aragorn's horse is named Roheryn. Roheryn was given to Aragorn by Arwen. Roheryn menas "horse of the lady" from roch meaning "horse" and híril meaning "lady." In the movie, Brego was Theoden's son Théodred's horse who went mad when his owner died. Aragorn calmed Brego and ordered him to be set free. Brego later rescued Aragorn when he was wounded. Uraeus, the 16.1 hh warmblood stallion who played Brego, is a former FEI dressage champion who currently is owned by Viggo and lives with Kenny (Hasufel) in New Zealand.
