History
Wise-nose was one of five ponies that Merry had ready for the Hobbits journey at Crickhollow. At the home of Tom Bombadil, the ponies became friends with Fatty Lumpkin, a pony of Tom's. At the Barrow-downs they became so frightened that they ran off to find Fatty. Tom called them all back with the names he had given them: Sharp-ears, Bumpkin, Wise-nose, Swish-tail, and White-socks. Eventually they all returned with all the baggage, and went back on their journey with the Hobbits.[1]
During their stay at the Prancing Pony the Hobbits' ponies were let out to delay their departure from Bree.[2] They ran out in the Downs to find Fatty. They stayed with Tom for a while, until he had heard news of the events at Bree. He sent the ponies to Barliman Butterbur, where they stayed working for Barliman and were well cared for by Bob.[3]
