Fred the Wonder Horse

Fred the Wonder Horse travels with Marshal Grover in a recurring series of Sesame Street sketches. He first appeared in Season 5 (1973). In these sketches, Fred always displayed more wisdom than Grover, and often resolved problems that Grover has, such as finding water in the desert, rescuing animals, and counting backwards.

Though he is usually seen in the company of Grover, he is occasionally seen on the Street. One of his few appearances without Grover was in the song "Cripple Creek", which he sang with Buffy, and in Episode 1858 with Gladys the Cow. Another non-Grover appearance involved him, under the identity of Professor Fred, talking to kids about body parts. He also appeared in a Sesame Street News Flash with Little Bo Peep, pretending to be a sheep and a dog. In this skit, since Jerry Nelson was performing Bo Peep, Fred was performed by Frank Oz.
