Best Answer

Two of Shakespeare's plays require live animals. In The Two Gentlemen of Verona, the character Launce has a conversation with his dog, Crab. In The Winter's Tale, there is the famous stage direction "Exit, pursued by a bear." It is likely that they borrowed an old, toothless and mild-tempered bear from the bearbaiting shows for this part.

They might have used real horses, but were more likely to have called on the audience's imagination for them. As the Prologue says in Henry V "Think, when we talk of horses, that you see them printing their proud hooves i' th' receiving earth."
