The start of the Steel Ball Run race

This article contains a list of horses featured in Part VII: Steel Ball Run.

Valkyrie

Valkyrie 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] Valkyrie's owner dies in battle against Funny Valentine, and both the horse's and Gyro's corpse are brought back to Naples by Johnny.

Valkyrie makes an appearance in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle as a technical playable character through Gyro.

Slow Dancer

Slow Dancer 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]

Slow Dancer makes an appearance in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle as a technical playable character through Johnny.
