Prancing Pony

Horse moving showily

The Prancing Pony is an inn in J.R.R.

Tolkien's Middle-earth, located in the village of Bree.

It serves as a crucial meeting place in *The Fellowship of the Ring*, where Frodo first encounters the ranger Aragorn.

The name evokes rustic tavern signs of old England, combining a spirited horse with welcoming hospitality.
