Note by the deviser.
Devised during the last week of July, 1971.
This dance was originally devised after Noeline challenged me to devise a ‘really real reel’ - a dance consisting of reels only. Under the circumstances an alliterative title was unavoidable.
At the end of bar 78 (ie. at the end of the reel of three with comers during the second time through) fourth couple finish in original places facing out. On bars 79–80 first couple lead down with left hands and cross over between fourth couple while fourth couple dance up to third place.
Rohan (‘Land-of-Horses’) was a realm of Men north of the White Mountains - originally a province of Gondor. It was a fair country of vast grasslands - ideal for the rearing and breeding of horses.
The inhabitants were known in Gondor as the Rohirrim (‘Masters-of-Horses’) - the Riders of Rohan much respected for their loyalty and bravery. A white horse upon green was the emblem of these people.
