'''Physical Description:''' There are no specific details to Strawberry's physical description, but his father was an officer's charger in the cavalry and Jadis chose him as her steed, so he must be a great horse. He is also likely a chestnut color because of his name and because when Aslan changes him into a Winged Horse, his wingfeathers are chestnut- and copper-colored.

==About Fledge==
 
-
Fledge (first known as Strawberry) is a simple, honest horse who does his work well despite the hard cobbles of the crowded London streets. Despite his menial lot, his ancestry is lordly; his father was a cavalry charger. Fledge remembers his foalhood wistfully, thinking of the beautiful grass of the fields and the sugar he was given. Sometimes he is slightly resentful about how he has to pull the cab while [[King Frank|Frank]] sits in it, but deep down he probably knows that [[King Frank|Frank]] is working just as hard for their living. When [[Aslan]] offers to give Fledge wings, he nervously accepts, and bears [[Digory Kirke|Digory]] and [[Polly Plummer|Polly]] on their quest. He displays a sense of humor when he requests that the Elephant not join the group he has to carry and when he calls the humans "rum little creatures" for not being able to live on grass. His good horse-sense must have been a great help to his former master [[King Frank|Frank]] in the early days of Narnia.
