The Fellowship of the Ring: Being the First Part of the Lord of the Rings · Chapter 15
The Ford of Bruinen
As Frodo's condition worsens, Glorfindel joins the Company and provides his swift elf-horse. At the Ford of Bruinen, Frodo crosses alone as the Nine Riders pursue; he invokes Elbereth as Elrond floods the river with a magical wave of white horses, sweeping the Riders away.
Outcome
The Nine Riders are temporarily defeated; Frodo collapses and is taken to Rivendell for healing.
