How can I get Shadowmere back after riding another horse?
During one of the imperial attacks on a stormcloak fort, I accidentally picked up a new horse. This caused Shadowmere to disappear (he had wandered off during the fighting) and I've been unable to find him. I've checked both sanctuaries, no luck there, and I've killed the new horse and waited a while. No shadowmere.
I've lost Shadowmere - where can I find her? I've found this answer, but the difference is that I'm not sure where I got the new horse. I can't use commands since I'm on xbox.
Any tips, or will I have to say goodbye to my favorite destruction trainee?

There is a good chance that she is dead. Return to the position from where you fast traveled and you will probably find her corpse. Kill all the enemies in the region and wait 10 days, then she should appear when you fast travel again since companions are reset after 10 days if they die. If she doesn't appear, check the small lake in front of the falkreath sanctuary.
If not, try buying another horse and kill it. Shadowmere should become your default horse then and might "respawn" when you fast travel.

If you interact with other horse while using Shadowmere he is "deactivated" and goes back to his pond. He can disappear for good on some occasions as well.Can you get Shadowmere back?

The only choices are:
Shadowmere died. Wait for a few days and go back to the place he died the retrieve him.
Go to the nearest stable where your horses would be. Shadowmere should be there [It that doesn't work, try fast traveling into the city as horses will be at the stable].
Go to console and type the following:

Shadowmere should teleport back to you.
This worked for me, and it works for others so this answer might suit you.
