* DeadlyDistantFinale: Argo was a strong healthy horse, but she was already a adult when during her time with Xena. So it's no surprise that she died in the twenty-five years since Xena's faked death since horses only live 25-30 years even in the modern era. The upside is that Joxer and Meg took her in and gave her a loving home until she died peacefully.
