Marshal Grover and Fred the Wonder Horse in Season 40 — Season 40

Fred the Wonder Horse travels with Marshal Grover in a recurring series of Sesame Street sketches. He first appeared in Season 5 (1973).

He performed the song "Cripple Creek" with Buffy (EKA: Episode 1041), and he joined Buster the Horse to back up Gladys the Cow on "Proud to Be a Cow", performed here by Ed Christie (EKA: Episode 1858).
