Poseidon created all white horses out of ocean waves' foam. Zeus took half of the herd and added wings. The whole herd that had wings was called Pegasus. Now there is only one so they call it Pegasus. Poseidon and Zeus created Pegasus.
Actually, there are multiple versions of the story. One is that they sprang from the blood issuing from Medusa's neck as Perseus was beheading her, similar to the manner in which Athena was born from the head of Zeus. In another version, when Perseus beheaded Medusa, they were born of the Earth, fed by the Gorgon's blood. A variation of this story holds that they were formed from the mingling of Medusa's blood and sea foam, implying that Poseidon had involvement in their making. The last version bears resemblance to the birth of Aphrodite, in that their mothers burst into flames and they came flying out fully grown.
