Stripes

Stripes is the titular protagonist of Racing Stripes. He is Sandy's husband and Channing's pet.

Beginnings
A baby zebra was accidentally left behind after replacing a flat tire. He was rescued by a former racehorse trainer named Nolan Walsh. Nolan's 13-year-old daughter, Channing names the foal Stripes. The next day, Stripes was destined to be a racehorse, not realizing he was actually a zebra and not qualified to race. Sir Trenton does not want his sons, Trenton's Pride and Ruffshodd to race Stripes.

In Racing Stripes
Three years later, after racing the mailman again, an adult Stripes develops a crush on an Arabian filly named Sandy. While talking to Sandy, Stripes' childhood bullies Pride and Ruffshodd approaches to Stripes. Pride challenges Stripes to a racing match at a secret race track in the woods called the Blue Moon Races; he accepts, but loses the race.

The following day, Tucker advises Stripes to get proper training first. Channing can't go to work because her motorcycle and Old Blue, Nolan's old pickup truck, were sabotaged. However, Channing rides on Stripes to Turfway Park. There, Stripes meets a pair of horse-fly brothers, Buzz and Scuzz. Stripes raced around the track which caught the racetrack gambler, Woodzie's attention. He encourages Channing to sign her and Stripes up for a tryout race tomorrow which she does. But the next morning, Stripes has a major meltdown after being easily scared by the horse-gate like all the other horses. Once he calms down, he begins running, catching up with the other horses. Sir Trenton whispers to the other horse's ear to bring another plan in action. Stripes was still running, but gets hit in the face by flying dirt, causing Channing to fall off.

Sir Trenton told Stripes that he is a Zebra which severely discourages him. Despite Chan's pleas, Nolan refuses to let her race with Stripes. Realizing this, the farm animals lure Nolan into the farm to show him a table holding his past accomplishments and he changes his mind. Meanwhile, Franny reveals to Stripes that Tucker helped Nolan train the racehorse champions including Sir Trenton without getting any thanks, which encourages him to begin training.

Refusing to allow Stripes to race, Sir Trenton and several thoroughbreds ambush Stripes and Sandy at a creek as they are talking and making up for their previous argument one night, kidnapping Sandy and threatening to hurt her if he races. The next day, after rescuing Stripes, they were informed that he's going to find the sleigh horses from Melody Time to go on a date with them. Tucker, Franny, and Goose go to rescue Sandy. The rescue was a failure. Stripes, now angry, sets off to find the sleigh horses. He finds the sleigh horses and he's about to kiss them. Stripes was in madly love while kissing the sleigh horses, but he gets caught by the Blue Horses and the Carfaces, the mid-90s bullies. The blue horses and the Carfaces severely beats Stripes up senselessly and curses him. Stripes slowly dies in a cold summer night.

Channing, Nolan, Woodzie, Buzz, Scuzz, and all the farm animals heard about Stripes' death. They found Stripes' carcass and they all cried. The funeral was held at the animal cemetery.
