Mordor horses do not have Rohan-level due to balance (consider the Wargs of Gundabad) and also due to the training of Mordor--most likely inferior to that of Rohan.

The quote for Mordor mounts comes from Eomer in "The Riders of Rohan".

I chose Elven-horses as the fastest as we have reference to two very swift horses of the Eldar-Asfaloth and Rochallor. Also, it's a good way to differentiate from Rohan mounts.

Finally, alignment is required to create balance and further RP, to prevent players from just all going to the place where the best one can be found and taming them.

Ithilion, Discussions Moderator (Auta i lómë) 03:18, April 7, 2017 (UTC) As well as references for swift Elven horses, there are references for fast Rohan horses (not just the Mearas). "With that they parted. Very swift were the horses of Rohan." -The Riders of Rohan "Lightfoot's foal, swift Snowmane." -The Battle of the Pelennor Fields "...and the front of the first éored roared like a breaker foaming to the shore, but Théoden could not be overtaken." -Pelennor Fields Those are but a few of many...
