White Stallion: Difference between revisions

* [[The Man Your Man Could Smell Like]] in the Old Spice commercials is seen on a white horse, [[Breathless Non-Sequitur|backwards.]]

 

* Altivo from ''[[The Road to El Dorado]]'', who belongs to Miguel, a thief. [[Justified]] in that he originally belonged to explorer Hernan Cortes.

** Taking into account that Miguel is one of the two protagonists of the film and certainly heroic, while Hernan Cortes serves as an antagonist, the trope is still played straight, although it zigzags a little in the beginning.

** Prince Achmed's horse in ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]''.

** The Prince's horse in ''[[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney film)|Snow White]]''.

* In the 2004 film ''King Arthur'', the titular character rides a white horse, as expected. The trope is subverted, however, as Galahad and Tristan also rode white steeds.

* In the 2010 version of ''[[Robin Hood (2010 film)|Robin Hood]]'', Robin acquires a white horse early on and rides it around for the remainder of the movie. [[Justified]] in that the horse once belonged to King Richard.

* Guinevere, Lady of Leonesse snd Queen of Camelot, in [[First Knight]] is the only rider whose horse is white. Lancelot rides her horse on the way to rescue her.

* The Duke of [[Kate and Leopold]] rides down a purse snatcher through Central Park on the back of a horse that he borrowed from a carriage ride. It just so happens that the horse is white.

 

== Literature ==

* In the [[Chronicles of the Kencyrath]] series by P.C. Hodgell, heroine Jame has two white mounts. Bel-tairi is a Whinno-hir, an intelligent, nigh-immortal beast, dainty of stature, sure-footed and dependable; she's Jame's mount for regular travel. Death's-head, however, is what Jame rides into battle; he is a white rathorn, basically an armored, carnivorous unicorn. Both are quite symbolic.

 

* [[The Lone Ranger]]'s horse Silver.

** Interestingly enough, Silver was played by two horses, both of which where true whites.

* On ''[[Merlin (TV series)|Merlin]]'', Lancelot is the only knight of the Round Table who rides a white horse.

** Morgana also rode a white horse before her [[Face Heel Turn]].

== Western Animation ==

* The most famous painting of Charles XI of Sweden has him riding a white horse at the battle of Lund (its name was Brilliant and was a gift from the french). Interestingly enough a famous poem about the occasion [[Did Not Do the Research|claims it was black]].
