List of Horses in Steel Ball Run

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

Valkyrie
Valkyrie is a 4 year-old stock horse with Austrian 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 skips suddenly to its left for every seven breaths it takes. Valkyrie's owner dies in battle against Funny Valentine, and the horse 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.
