Mini Horses

Manga Debut: SBR Chapter 3: Johnny Joestar

The Mini Horses (手のり馬, Te Nori-ba, lit. Hand Horse) are extremely small horses who are the mascots of the Steel Ball Run race. They march around Steven Steel's feet in the opening ceremony of the race before Steven gives his speech.

Slow Dancer

Manga Debut: SBR Chapter 4: September 25, 1890 - 3 Hours to Start
Game Debut: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle
Namesake: Slow Dancer^{[citation needed]} (Boz Scaggs song/album)

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.

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.

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