    • Roy Rogers' horse Trigger was mounted after his death displayed at a museum.
      Dale Evans also had a horse (Buttermilk), but no one really cared about Buttermilk much. Trigger, however, had many, many fans.
    • The Lone Ranger's horse, Silver was told in every episode: "Hi yoh, Silver! Away!". Tonto was less flamboyant: "Get 'em up, Scout".
    • Alexander the Great's famous horse, Bucephalus. We were playing (en famille) a triva game, where you had to guess the lover: given Romeo, answer Juliet; given Robin Hood, answer Maid Marian. After a bit, Mom asked 'Alexander the Great' (who had no famous lover, though he had wives, including Roxana the Bactrian). My brother brought the house down and was declared winner with his answer of "Bucephalus".
    • Seriously, you're not going to make me talk about Winnie the Pooh, are you?
    • Pegasus showed up a few times in Greek myth. Perseus was one of his riders. Perseus was the son of Zeus, born of Danae (Zeus came to her a shower of gold). Perseus rescued Andromeda (daughter of the Queen of Ethiopia, Cassiopeia) from a sea monster. Perseus, Andromeda, Cassiopeia, Cepheus (Andromeda's father), and Pegasus are all constellations close to the celestial North Pole.
