Further notes on LOTR

Having seen the movies a bit more, these questions have come to mind:

1. Why the hell do none of the people of Rohan braid their hair? Not only it is mentioned in the books, but it really would have fit in with the design aesthetic developed for the films.

2. When the forces of the King show up at the Black Gate, before the fighting has started, what the heck is on Aragorn's sword? It looks like blood, but he hasn't been fighting for a bit. You'd think that a swordsman like him would have taken the time to clean his blade after the battle at Pelennor and before he rode out.

3. The Rohirrim and Gondorians ride horses to the gates of Mordor, yet when the gates open and the forces of evil come out, there isn't a single good guy on horseback. In fact, there isn't a horse in sight. Where they hell did all the horses go, and why?
