Sophie - Chestnut mare with a white blaze forehead seen on the Korean War military comedy M*A*S*H/CBS/1972-83. Sophie was found wandering in the fields near the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital by Corporal Radar O'Reilly (Gary Burghoff). He gave the horse to his commanding officer Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry  Morgan), a former cavalry officer, whose field office sported photos of horses he had ridden over the years. When the war ended, Colonel Potter gave Sophie to the children of a nearby orphanage. Major Charles Emerson Winchester III (David Ogden Stiers) had a polo pony back home in the states named Pegasus.
