The "Riders of Rohan" chapter is full of gems but one of those is that there were three horses that Γomer offered to give to the Three Hunters, and since Gimli plainly refused to "ride a beast", he ended up riding behind Legolas. The films present this as if there were only two horses so they made do out of necessity, but no, Gimli son of GlΓ³in just didn't want to sit on a horse by himself and said as much proudly to the Third Marshal of the Riddermark. King.
