The August issue of the Council Courier has featured the following riddle:
Trouble rides on stolen horses.
The answer is: The Nazgul. Explanation: There are a couple of places in the book where it is mentioned that servants of Sauron stole horses from the Rohirrim and were breeding them in Mordor. These horses were the ones which the Nine rode to the Shire and while chasing Frodo to the Ford. We believe there’s no need to explain why the Nazgul were ‘trouble’.
