History
Mario & Sonic series
Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games
Horses made their first Super Mario game appearance in Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games. There is a large variety of horses in the game, such as brown, bright brown, and white. The Equestrian - Show Jumping event is set in Greenwich Park, where the horses are found.[1] They can be ridden by playable characters in the game. At the beginning of Equestrian, when a "GO!" appears on the screen, the player can swing the Wii Remote for a Starting Dash. The player has to hold the Wii Remote on its side and move up and down as if they were reins to speed up. The player needs to slow down and angle their Remote to steer around corners before galloping up to a fence and leaping over it. Equestrian is known to have ten fences, which a horse needs to jump over. If the player misses a single fence, they lose the game. When the player is about to finish the Equestrian event, the Horse may speed up when the player keeps on shaking the Wii Remote.
The Horses are also available in the Dream Events; the Dream Equestrian event takes place in Moo Moo Meadows from Mario Kart Wii.[2] The event needs four players who ride their horses, and help transport the seven Yoshi Eggs on a cart at the goal of the minigame. Sometimes, arrows to show the direction where the players should go to appear, and the Horse moves if the players hold the Wii Remote sideways and shake it in the right direction. Sometimes the cart tips over and the players have to hold the Wii Remote in the right direction to get the balance back, especially when a Chain Chomp chases after them on a bridge. The horses always have to dodge things thrown at them, including the barrels behind them, a Magikoopa's magic attacks, or what's laying around. If a horse is injured, the cart loses a Yoshi Egg. Boost panels can help the horses increase their speed. At times the horses are at cliffs, the player needs to press the 
button to make them jump. If the characters make it with Yoshi Eggs, different colored Yoshis hatch and they complete the event. However they lose the event if all the Yoshi Eggs have disappeared from the cart.
In the Nintendo 3DS version of the game, horses only appear in Show Jumping (Team) and Modern Pentathlon, meaning that they are only ridden by characters in the Heroes and Girls groups.
Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games
Horses return in Equestrian in both versions of Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, serving the same purpose as in Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games. They also appear in Equestrian Plus in the Nintendo 3DS version. In both versions, Larry Koopa expresses a keen interest in the Equestrian event and horses.
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020
Horses once again appear in Equestrian in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, serving the same purpose as in prior Mario & Sonic installments.
Mario Sports Superstars
More stylized, cartoony-looking horses appear in the Horse Racing sport of the Mario Sports Superstars game. Here, players take care of their horses to better their mood and increase their bond with them. Prior to playing horse racing, players can choose their horse's gender, as well as the type of horse they wish to choose, from a pool of four horse types: balance, speed, power, and technique, and they all come with different designs and colors with different stats. Players can also unlock accessories for their horses to wear, such as saddles, bridles, and hats. Alternatively, a horse can be selected from a selection of "guest" horses (which increases upon winning tournament cups). Also, the horse's stats change slightly depending on the play type of the rider.
Super Mario Party
Horses appear in Super Mario Party in the minigame Fiddler on the Hoof, where they retain their design from Mario Sports Superstars.
Princess Peach: Showtime!
In each of Cowgirl Peach's stages in Princess Peach: Showtime!, there is always a section in which she rides a female blonde-maned white horse made out of wood and controlled by strings, in a similar fashion to the large members of the Sour Bunch. During these sections, Peach must navigate parallel sections to avoid incoming obstacles such as rocks, walls, and towers, jump over smaller obstacles like cacti and holes, and catch enemies or debris with her lasso to remove them from the path. The Sour Bunch also rides purple wooden horses, which will break down once their cargo or knight is launched away.
The companion horse is first found attached to a chariot in Cowgirl in the Wilderness, from which she then detaches to help Peach catch up to the Sour Bunch and their cowboy leader.
In Cowgirl at Dusk, the horse helps Peach throughout most of the level, helping her catch up to the Dark Locomotive and eventually tear it down.
Lastly, in The Dark Locomotive & the Doomed Town, the horse helps Peach rescue the Cowboy Sparkla tied to the tracks; then, after reaching a dead end caused by a fallen bridge, the horse pulls a chariot and lets the Sparkla guide her while Peach, standing on the chariots, takes care of the incoming obstacles. If anything hits the chariots, the ones that have been hit will flash red, and if Peach does not dismount in time, she will fall off as the chariot explodes.
