This article has been marked as possibly non-notable since 2010. I found a couple old media references, so I'm satisfied the horse existed, but it doesn't seem to have had a particularly impressive career, and there's some question on whether its name was actually "Sorcerer" or "Sorceror", as I found it spelled both ways.
That said, I'm proposing this for deletion mainly so that its disposition can be resolved one way or the other, because it will affect what needs to be done with another page I wanted to fix. Other than this one, I've satisfied myself that all the other subjects mentioned on the disambiguation page Sorceror (a misspelling of "sorcerer") are wrong, meaning that disambiguation page isn't needed. One is a video game whose box art uses the correct spelling of "Sorcerer", another is a recent novel whose cover page uses the correct spelling, and the third is a German movie so its original title isn't in English anyway. That leaves Sorceror (horse) as the only possibly-legitimate subject that might use the misspelling "Sorceror".
So, if Sorceror (horse) is worthy of inclusion, and if the horse's name was truly "Sorceror" and not "Sorcerer", then Sorceror (horse) should be moved to Sorceror, with a link added at the top to the (correctly-spelled) disambiguation page sorcerer. If, as I suspect, Sorceror (horse) is not notable, then it should be deleted, and Sorceror can should go back to being a redirect to Sorcerer (which is what it was until a year ago, when someone changed it for reasons I do not understand).
