Horsemanship was a greatly prized skill in Númenor. Horses were treated with particular honour. In Númenor's earlier days the bond between horse and master was said to be so strong that some noble steeds could be summoned by thought alone.

How I fully expect season 2 of RoP to begin
Adar: *chilling with his children in their new home, sipping a piña colada*
Isildur, bedraggled: excuse me can you point me in the direction of the sea? I think my dad and best friend and queen left without me
Adar: *points* it's that way
A few moments later...
Berek: hello have you seen a rather pathetic and lost looking man wandering about
Adar: yeah he went *points* that way *resumes sipping his piña colada*

Okay. I’m going to start 3 lists. A list of things we expect to see in The Rings of Power Season Two, a list of things I hope to see in Season Two, and some things we should see by the end of the series.
A. Things we can expect to see (some but not all of these have been mentioned in interviews with the show runners, writers, or actors):
1. Backstory for Adar and Sauron’s relationship
2. Círdan the shipwright (!!!) I’m guessing this involves Gil Galad
3. Rhûn We know nothing about Rhûn so the creatives may go wild and create something amazing. I hope so! The wizard and Nori will go there. They may not like everything about it. (”To the East I go not.”)
4. The death of someone named Durin. I won’t try to guess the number following his name.
5. Arondir not dying, please I beg of you. Will we see him again with Adar? Hopefully with Bronwyn
6. Isildur and Berek and their adventures getting out of Mordor
7. Celeborn (and Celebrían as I am reminded by @erinti-of-the-maiar )
B. Things I would love to see in Season Two, a wish list:
1. Revelations about Isildur’s mother
2. A revelation about Theo’s father
3. Anarion and what he’s doing and thinking about, and just more about the faithful of Númenor and the west of Númenor
4. Everything about Adar from his youth before he met Morgoth onward: his name, his age, his lineage, how he was turned from a young elf, possibly of high breeding, maybe even someone who saw the light of the Two Trees, to what he is now. Not every gory detail of course, just the gist of it. I want more Adar content.
C. Things we should see by the end of the series in random order (we can all probably agree on most of these):
1. The making and distributing of the 7 dwarf rings and 9 human rings, including the turning of the Nazgûl. Kind of hoping Eärian won’t be one of them but I've already written off Kemen. (Theo?)
2. The Harfoots settling and starting the Shire. And as one brilliant person suggested, the wagon wheels becoming doors
3. Ar Pharazon becomes king, attacks Sauron in Middle Earth, Sauron surrenders. Sauron taken as prisoner to Númenor, chums up to Ar Pharazon and together they cut down and burn the White Tree and prepare an attack on the Undying Lands, yada yada yada then giant wave like in the palantir
4. Elendil and his sons escaping the destruction of Númenor and establishing cities in Middle Earth including Minas Tirith, eventually fighting Sauron in the Last Alliance of Elves and Men, Sauron loses a finger, etc. ;-) Death of Gil Galad and Celebrimbor.
5. Somehow, the beginning of the Rohirrim? It seems unavoidable
6. Arrival to Middle Earth of more wizards. I’ll be angry if they do to Radagast my beloved what the Hobbit movies did to him.
7. (Wishful thinking) At least a glimpse of Bombadil
8. The story of the ghost army?
9. Dragons?
10. Galadriel establishing Lothlórien, Elrond establishing Rivendell.
That’s enough to start. I’m sure I’ll think of more, especially for the wish list. Please join in if you want!
