Sir Lancelot's Concorde: myth, literature, or history?? -- John Owens 09:17 Mar 31, 2003 (UTC)

Literature. Most of the Arthurian legend is derived from literary sources. user:sjc

Anyone remember the name of D'Artagnan's yellow nag at the beginning of 'The Three Musketeers'? -- Loren Rosen

Trigger wasn't fictional

What was Roy Rogers's character riding in all those movies, then? —Paul A 05:16 25 Jul 2003 (UTC)

I believe "Trigger" was the real horse's real name - ergo, not fictional. Remember, this was back in the old days, when they used real animals in movies instead of CG. :-) Stan 05:42 25 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Proves nothing. Roy Rogers was playing a fictional person called Roy Rogers, I don't see why Trigger can't have been playing a fictional horse called Trigger... :o) —Paul A 06:10 25 Jul 2003 (UTC)

I'm not sure if I buy Roy Rogers was playing fictional persona Roy Rogers. Does that mean that *every* representation that's not face-to-face is fictional? Or only things that are not documentaries? Is David Letterman a fictional character?

Aside: anyone know this from the history page? also: several horses named in The Sting (please specify).

It's a tricky one, I agree. On balance I think I agree with Paul, the real Rogers was an actor playing a part (actually various similar parts), who shared his name and some characteristics. I also think Anthony Aloysius St John Hancock was a fictional character. Jerry Seinfeld, as a character from Seinfeld, I'm still undecided about 8-)...

(Maybe that could be a new list "List of actors known for characters based directly on themselves".)Daibhid C 22:37 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)

The entry for Condor from "Green Rider" was mine before I created my account.

I've now read the sequel and there's a lot more named horses. I would assume that this would be more suitably placed on a page dedicated to the "Green Rider" series? (looks for advice from more experienced contributors) Phil 16:50, Oct 8, 2003 (UTC)

I'm not really an experienced poster. :) But I think it can't harm to put those horses here. You could create a separate page for "Green Rider" in addition, if you want to, but that doesn't mean they can't also be here, no? --Mithcoriel 21:33, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Is Tornado (Zorro's horse) named in Curse of Capistrano? If so, he should probably be under Literature, not Television (or both, like Black Beauty).

Also, what was the name of Bandaras-Zorro's horse in the film? ISTR it was "Whirlwind" or something similar. Daibhid C 22:37 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)

What about Horses in video games? There's one in the Ultima Series who has a fairly important role, and I'm sure there are others of some note.

Not sure where this belongs Kalki it's not really mythical IMO.

Thestrals?

Should they be included? The thestral article says that they're "fictional winged horses". - PK9 01:28, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

• I added them, they seem like real fictional horses. Don't be shy about editing pages for yourself. Kappa 01:36, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Lord of the Rings

There are way too many horses from Lord of the Rings.

He-Man

Had He-Man not a horse? Culnacréann 20:45, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

No, He-Man rode a green tiger. --Paul A 04:09, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Black Bess

Dick Turpin's legend contains much that is apocryphal, or at least wildly inaccurate, but he did exist and Black Bess has more claim to being a real animal than others on the list, whether she and Dick really made the mythical 190 mile dash to York or not - perhaps she should be moved to the 'horses of various other fames' section on the List of historical horses? James 22:47, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

You're right. Just moved it. Emeraude 14:18, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

help?

i added some Zoo tycoon ones but i didnt spell it right, can someone edit it? thanks. Ribbedebie 16:15, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind, i got it right. Ribbedebie 17:43, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Nightmare.

I thought there was either a black unicorn or a black Pegasus type horse known as a nightmare. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.49.62.252 (talk) 01:02, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Arrow

Arrow, from The Silver Brumby wasn't Thowra's enermy. He was his older half-brother, he was sometimes jealous but he was too stupid to be angry or dislike. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.161.64.177 (talk) 07:12, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Note

I have copied various horses from this list to several other articles including List of fictional ungulates, List of mythological horses, and List of fictional ungulates in animation. Ncboy2010 (talk) 16:20, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

The name "Throwra" is incorrect according to the linked page; it should be "Thowra" in the following code:

• Throwra, a creamy-silver stallion, the main character in Silver Brumby, by Elyne Mitchell

becomes

• Thowra, a creamy-silver stallion, the main character in Silver Brumby, by Elyne Mitchell Jbzimmerman91 (talk) 19:00, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

Done. Thank you! Kuru (talk) 19:06, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

A Song of Ice and Fire / Game of Thrones

Some important horses from A Song of Ice and Fire that are missing:

• Honor and Glory - two horses belonging to Jaime Lannister.
• Blood - a stallion belonging to Ramsay Snow.
• Dancer - a young horse belonging to Bran Stark.
• Craven - a sorrel palfrey belonging to Arya Stark.
• Chestnut - an old stot belonging to Ser Arlan of Pennytree and later Duncan the Tall.
• Thunder - an old warhorse belonging to Ser Arlan of Pennytree and later Duncan the Tall.
• Sweetfoot - a palfrey belonging to Ser Arlan of Pennytree and later Duncan the Tall.

Some of them also appear prominently in the Game of Thrones TV series.

Stewball

The Stewball entry in the Horses in song section needs to be clarified. The Peter, Paul & Mary recording is not the original; it had been recorded previously by Woody Guthry, Lead Belly et al, and is based on the 18th century English sporting ballad (see: Skewball). —2606:A000:4C0C:E200:51D9:C715:1A1D:7336 (talk) 18:10, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
