In 99 AG, ostrich horses were a common sight in the military of the Earth Kingdom, as they were used by a group of Earth Kingdom soldiers during their attempt to escort Iroh to Ba Sing Se following his capture by Gow and his men. They were also present in large numbers at General Fong's fortress, and the Royal Earthbender Guards stationed at the Earth Kingdom Royal Palace employed these animals as cavalry mounts as well. Additionally, shortly after the end of the Hundred Year War, General How and several guards rode the creatures during the Earth Kingdom military's march to Yu Dao.

| - In 99 AG, ostrich horses were a common sight in the military of the Earth Kingdom, as they were used by a group of Earth Kingdom soldiers during their attempt to escort Iroh to Ba Sing Se following his capture by Gow and his men. They were also present in large numbers at General Fong's fortress, and the Royal Earthbender Guards stationed at the Earth Kingdom Royal Palace employed these animals as cavalry mounts as well. Additionally, shortly after the end of the Hundred Year War, General How and several guards rode the creatures during the Earth Kingdom military's march to Yu Dao. Reliance on ostrich horses as a primary means of transportation was not restricted solely to the military, as they were common among civilians as well. After Zuko and Iroh became fugitives of the Fire Nation, the former stole an ostrich horse from Song's home to use as a mount during their travels in the Earth Kingdom. The animal remained with Zuko on his journey after he temporarily departed from his uncle. In Ba Sing Se, people could make use of carriages drawn by ostrich horses to traverse the large metropolis. The use of ostrich horses also extended to be multicultural, exhibited by the fact that Fire Nation soldiers kept several ostrich horses in some of their colonies, including the coastal colony from which Zuko, Azula, Ty Lee, and Mai departed for the Fire Nation mainland following the Coup of Ba Sing Se. The beasts had also made it to the mainland, as the Fire Nation's domestic forces used ostrich horses in 102 AG to escort a decoy caravan from the harbor to the Fire Nation Capital in an attempt to draw out members of the New Ozai Society. Although technological advances were omnipresent, even in 128 AG ostrich horses continued to be a common method of transportation in cities, as Yakone escaped his trial in Republic City by way of an ostrich horse-drawn carriage after bloodbending all the attendees in City Hall. However, the mount and the carriage were separated shortly thereafter by an airbending blast from Avatar Aang.
