"Change 'Horse as Dhanno'to 'Mare as Dhanno'" as Dhanno was a female character and played by a female horse i.e. Mare. ~2025-35718-57 (talk) 03:37, 23 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

Not done: I have removed this credit altogether as it only credits an unspecified horse with playing the role, which provides absolutely no information to the reader. It is shocking to find something like this in a featured article. Day Creature (talk) 05:20, 23 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
