"As others have pointed out, they're in hairy makeup just like the actors! No one bothered to remember before wanting shaggy ponies that ponies are only shaggy in winter. However, I actually find this degree of shagginess rather excessive: few healthy ponies will actually grow that much hair, even in winter (and certainly never in summer). Ponies (or horses) that shaggy likely have a thyroid problem called Cushing's disease, which amongst other problems means they grow really shaggy hair and never shed. So when I see all those really shaggy ponies, as much as I would rather just find them cute, I can't stop thinking they all need some serious vet treatment."
They are Icelandic horses, I believe. In the winter, they can be pretty shaggy. E.g. http://www.hedweb.com/.../icelandic-horse.jpg
But yeah, bad call not realizing horses shed!

Good point on the black speech. And Thorin does seem to understand, which is strange. As to Rhosgobel,

-- the first wide shot of Rivendell is, IMO, the worst (most obvious) matte painting of all the films so far. Maybe the giant IMAX screen made it even more obvious but it is SO fake looking. It looked so much better in FOTR.

I agree, the ponies looked distractingly fake
