RIP Uraeus (Brego)

The lovely horse that played Brego in two of the Lord of the Rings movies and bought by Viggo (Aragorn) afterwards passed away: ‘Aged 28, but a timeless presence in the minds of those who had the honour of knowing this proud, handsome, and supremely intelligent being, mighty Uraeus has finally come to rest on the physical plane. Thank you, Jane and Ray, for helping him do so with dignity. Dearest friend and teacher, I hold you and keep you.’ - Viggo Mortensen. Rest in peace. 28 is a good age. Uraeus can run the green fields with both Shadowfax'es now (Domero and Blanco). <3 My condolences to Viggo too, I know how painful it is too lose an animal Jed Brophy sent his condolences on twitter too.

He was a beautiful horse. I'm sure he'll be much missed by the people who loved him.

I'd take him to the taxidermist.

I don't usually like taxidermy, but how cool would it be to have Brego preserved.

Just the other day my niece asked about Brego. I told her the stories from the LOTR EEEs, about how Viggo bought Brego, and how he out-bid an exec for Arwen's horse and then gave it to her stunt rider... condolences to Mr. Mortensen for the loss of his friend.

I'm so glad he had such a great life, though. He certainly will never be forgotten.

He was a character in his own right.

Every time I view the films I think, wow he's gorgeous. I wish I could have known him. My own loyal steed is 28 also, and I know it's just a matter of time although he's in good health so far.
