Okies, so i'm a horsey person. right? right. well . . . . has ANYONE noticed that the bad guys ALWAYS ride black horses? and the good guys (ie. Gandalf) ride WHITE horses. i mean . . . the poor black horses . . everyone always think black horses are bad. and they're SO not. Anyways, that was SO random. XD |

True, they have a bad reputation. But in the A&E Pride & Prejudice, Mr. Darcy rides a black horse, so they can't be all that bad 
I guess dark colors are just associated as wanting to blend into the shadows because one has something to hide...or something like that. Therefore dark-colored horses are chosen by people with things to hide, who are most often villains. How's that for a strange qualification of the plight of black horses? |

The nazgul would kind of lose their mystique if they rode white horses 
So it's not just the horses that are the problem, it's the whole villain stereotype. |

I love black horses, I own a black stallion, whose name, is Araglas. |

I had a black horse, her name was Star...does that make me a villian....  Of course it does...*cough* I mean, No of course not! Oddly enough, that reminded me of the song by Franz Ferdinand "I'm your Villian"
The point is, Black horses are not always portrayed badly but commonly they are...*sigh* Silly Stereotypes
