In February of the next year, Shadowfax returned to Edoras. Shadowfax then carried Gandalf far into the north to distract the Ringwraiths from chasing the Ring-Bearer. When they reached Weathertop, Gandalf was followed and attacked by the Nazgûl on the night of 3 October. Shadowfax was said to be much faster than the horses of the Nazgûl, and carried Gandalf for about 620 miles from 23 to 28 September. At first the horse did not allow him to come near, and Gandalf had to follow him far over the fields for two days before he tamed it, chasing it for over twenty miles. 3018, Gandalf was in Rohan and Théoden reluctantly gave him any horse of his choosing. Shadowfax was a mighty horse of Rohan, the chief of the Mearas, noted for its speed, "like an arrow".
