Pegasus
Pegasus became who he was by how Perseus fought with Medusa. Once Perseus killed off Medusa, the only Pegasus reached out of her body. After the fight, Perseus rode on Pegasus, where he spotted a princess, and they each took charge of helping her. Pegasus was the mount of Bellerophon who took control of the horse to fight. Pegasus was a horse that helped out many people, as quoted from Gloria and Mary Chris Foxworthy, in their book Horse Symbolism, says, "Pegasus, however, continued the Journey to Mount Olympus and went onto life in Zue's price, and was given the task of carrying the gods thunder and lightning."

Sleipnir
Sleipnir was a brilliant and fighting horse; he was one of the best horses to be put out there; he carried many gods on quests and never fled when things got rough. Loki, another helper who the Gods threatened, was the one who gave birth to Sleipnir. A quote from Gloria and Mary Chris Foxworthy "Sleipnir was a large and muscular horse with eight legs, instead of four, his coat was as grey as a thundercloud, an nd mare and tail were streams of darker grey. He could Gallop faster, Jump Higher, Kick Harder, and whinny louder than any other Horse" (Horse Symbolism). This horse had no fear and dint have a limit to his strength and would be able to fly, swim through the water with no struggle, and would help many safely.

Sea Horses
Neptune was the God of Freshwater and the sea of roman Religion and had a seahorse that Would Chariot him. Kampos means monster, and Hippos actually mean horse in Greek, and therefore seahorses are believed to create the crests of sea waves. Seahorses were put out as not vicious but lived in the deep sea; they would eat plants but not land plants, but instead ocean plants. Sea horses were not portrayed to harm anyone but more helpful, loyal, and graceful.
