I've got a great riddle.
See if you can guess what it is.

Thirty white horses on a red hill,
First they champ,
Then they stamp,
Then they stand still.

Easy, chestnuts I suppose! :) Too easy . . . That "No-legs" one was the
hardest riddle.

Not me . It's just remarkably similar to the hobbit one but with a
different answer.

Sorry, I shouldn't jump to conclusions.

Gosh, I'm sure we're all really stumped. Where could that possibly be
from? Chestnuts, chestnuts, hissed Gollum. (note: not the answer,
merely his description IIRC of how easy a riddle it was)
