Horace Horsecollar
Horace Horsecollar is a cartoon character created in 1928 at Walt Disney Animation Studios. Horace is a tall anthropomorphic black horse and is one of Mickey Mouse's best friends. Characterized as a boastful show-off, Horace served as Mickey’s sidekick in Disney’s early black-and-white shorts. A common gag in his early appearances was his ability to change at will from being a normal horse to a more human-like character. Horace first appeared as Mickey’s plow horse in the 1929 cartoon '' The Plowboy''. Later that same year, he appeared in ''The Jazz Fool'' and afterwards became a regular member of the Disney supporting cast along with Clarabelle Cow and Clara Cluck.
