Manga Debut: Steel Ball Run Chapter 4: September 25, 1890 - 3 Hours to Start
Game Debut: All-Star Battle
Namesake: Slow Dancer (Boz Scaggs song/album)
:Main article: Slow Dancer

Slow Dancer (スロー・ダンサー, Surō Dansā) is an 11-year-old appaloosa and the horse that Johnny Joestar rides. Initially, it proves difficult to tame, but by the start of the race, it manages to warm up to Johnny and hoists Johnny onto the saddle by hoisting him and causing him to roll along its neck. Though Slow Dancer is old, it does not lack in stamina, and Gyro states that choosing the old horse is better due to the horse's experience, as opposed to the younger horses that hold much power but charge into danger without an afterthought.[2]

During a flashback in JoJolion, Johnny and Rina Higashikata can be seen riding a horse that appears to be Slow Dancer, although it isn't explicitly stated.[3]

Slow Dancer makes an appearance in All-Star Battle (PS3), its remaster and Eyes of Heaven as a technical playable character through Johnny.
