Brego, evidently wandering the Mark wearing a halter and rope, comes to the wounded Aragorn. Later, on the march to Helm’s Deep, Aragorn is injured fighting Orcs on wargs, falls off a cliff into a river, and is carried downstream. See for their translation of Aragorn’s words to Brego. When Aragorn sees Brego in distress in the stables at Edoras, he speaks to him in Rohirric, calming him, and then says to Éowyn, “Turn this fellow free. After Théodred’s death, Brego became wild and unmanageable. In the exended DVD version of the Two Towers film, but not in the books, Brego is the name of a dark bay horse that belonged to Theoden’s son Théodred. I’ve posted several video clips showing the scenes described here, see links at the bottom of this page. Goodness knows he had enough material! But it was enjoyable for those of us who think that most outdoor scenes can be improved with the addition of a horse. I’m not sure why Peter Jackson decided he needed to add a side story about a horse.
In fact, the entire side story described below, about Aragorn’s injury and presumed death while fighting warg-mounted Orcs on the way to Helm’s Deep, is a creation of the screenwriters. (Brego was probably named for Brego the Builder, a great king of Rohan.) It’s actually a little confusing to talk about “Brego in Lord of the Rings,” since Brego the horse is a character created purely for the films.
