==Depiction in the series==
===Season two===
 In Read It and Weep, brown-maned Doctor Horse, with his cutie mark, makes a speaking appearance as Rainbow Dash's doctor at Ponyville Hospital after she crashes and injures one of her wings. He assures Pinkie Pie that the crash didn't give Rainbow spider powers or healing powers and tells Rainbow and her friends that she'll need to stay in bed for several days.
Doctor Horse later approaches Rainbow Dash and informs her that she's being checked out of the hospital. When she tries to check herself back in, complaining of pain in her uninjured wing, the doctor accuses her of having become lazy during her hospital stay (calling it a "severe case of lazy-itis") and kicks her out again.
When Rainbow Dash tries to sneak into the hospital at night, Doctor Horse mistakes her for a slipper thief and chases her across Ponyville alongside "Nurse Sweetheart", Night Watch, and Screwy.
