In briefanswer capsule

The Mearas are the noblest breed of horses in Middle-earth, native to Rohan and unmatched among horses in speed, strength, and understanding. Descended from Felaróf, the horse tamed by Eorl the Young, they lived long lives and could grasp the speech of Men. By tradition only the King of the Mark or his sons might ride them, a rule broken only for Gandalf's horse Shadowfax.
