Blanco, the stunning grey Andalusian who played Gandalf’s mount Shadowfax in the Lord of the Ring movies, has passed away. Blanco’s owner, Cynthia Royal of California, reported that the horse suddenly became gravely ill. He was hospitalized for several days before his condition worsened and Royal was faced with the difficult decision of letting him go.

In addition to his role in the Lord of the Rings series, Blanco also appeared in the Hercules movie and TV series, as well as in numerous commercials. This beautiful horse will be missed.
