Rudolph, he got added later on in history. If that's not the answer, then sorry.

Rudolph was the last to join the sleigh-pulling team, because when I read an old English version of The Night Before Christmas, there were only eight reindeer pulling Santa's sleigh.
He's not as well known for pulling Santa's sleigh as much as he is known for LIGHTING THE WAY!
NO! i want to know WHY only 7 reindeer?
Santa's reindeer of course
On his sleigh? Reins. Santa puts reins on his reindeer that are attached to his sleigh. :D
No Santa rides a sleigh which is pulled by reindeer!
Traditionally, he had 8 reindeer until Rudolph was asked to guide the sleigh and he became the ninth.
Male reindeer drop their antlers in early November. ALL pictures of Santa's reideer show them them to have antlers ,while pulling Santa's sleigh, in December.
