Being unsure whether this thread belongs here or in Animal Safari Hi, ASp!, I take my cue from the recently-resurrected thread of similar title.

In my college days at an all-male school, a friend nicknamed his car, the trusty steed by which we traveled to the all-female schools for weekend gatherings. said last word was chosen with care. He named it after a famous literary steed, altering his choice from week to week according to mood: sometimes it was named for Don Juan's horse, sometimes for Don Quixote's.

Those names have long since faded from recall. Who then are the horses who supported our famous figures of literature and history?
