Witch King
When Grond breaks the Gate of Minas Tirith, Angmar is described as riding in on a horse.
When he attacks Theoden, he is on the fell beast. When does this change occur, because the transition isn't mentioned in the book.

Ardeth Bay, a warm welcome to the Downs! There is a thread in Novices and Newcomers entitled "Why did the Blank Captain Switch Rides?" that might interest you.

Angmar is not the Witch-King's name. Welcome to the Downs.
