Horse

Horses are real-world animals that have sometimes appeared in the Mario franchise, their first time being in the The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "The Great Gladiator Gig." While horses are the main steed in the real world, this role goes to Yoshis in the Mario games.
==In the games==
In Mobile Golf, a character named Bean is seen riding a horse in his artwork, something that he does not do in-game.
The first time horses actually appear within a Mario game is in WarioWare: Touched!, within the microgame Rump Roast. In it, the player has to tap the horse on the Touch Screen enough times so that it gains enough speed to win the race.
Horses prominently appear in the crossover Mario & Sonic series, in which characters ride them in Equestrian events. Their first appearance in this series is Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games for the Wii. Here, the player can have their character move on their horse by shaking the Wii Remote.
The Equestrian event would later carry over into the Mario franchise itself in Mario Sports Superstars, in which the Horses have more cartoony facial features than in Mario & Sonic series.
