List of Horses in Steel Ball Run
This article contains a list of horses featured in Steel Ball Run.
Game Debut: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle
Namesake: Ride of the Valkyries (Richard Wagner song)
Valkyrie (ヴァルキリー, Varukirī) is a 4-year-old stock horse with Australian roots and the horse that Gyro Zeppeli rides in the Steel Ball Run race. Gyro specifically chose the horse for its stamina and durability. As noted by Diego Brando, Valkyrie has a quirk where it sways suddenly to its left for every eight breaths it takes.[1]
After the race is over, Johnny brings the horse back to Naples.
Valkyrie makes an appearance in All Star Battle (PS3) and Eyes of Heaven as a technical playable character through Gyro.

Namesake: Slow Dancer (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.[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]

It is unknown what happened to the horse after Alternate Diego's death.
