Appearance
Horace Horsecollar is an anthropomorphised horse. In Kingdom Hearts II's Timeless River, he takes on a retro, monochromatic look, with completely black fur, rubber hose limbs, and a short, black tail. His hooves are white and a strange, semi-circle shape, and he wears the famous white gloves common to many older Disney characters on his four-fingered hands. He has large, close-set eyes and a white mouth with straight, white teeth. His ears are also rather long and floppy. He wears a small, white hat with a black band around the base strapped to his head by a white chinstrap. His namesake, his horse collar, is a round, white ring with a black bow on its front and a black prong tipped with a white ball on the opposite side. It hangs loosely around his neck.

In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Horace is seen in full color, with a slightly modified design. White his fur is still black and he retains his white gloves, His hooves are now a slightly different shape and he seems to be wearing tan shoes over them. He wears blue overalls and a red, long-sleeved shirt, and his hat is now brown with a blue band. His mouth is light tan and his ears are no longer floppy, and instead point upward. His horse collar is now completely brown with a red bow.

Trivia

 * One of the bonsai figures (the percussionist) in the Courtyard of the Disney Castle bears a striking resemblance to Horace Horsecollar. It could very well be him, as he was the percussionist in The Band Concert.
