Which reindeer pulled Santa's sleigh?

Which reindeer pulled Santa's sleigh? I know the words to the song are "Rudolph with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh tonight?" but was there another reindeer that pulled it before?

there are different Christmas songs and stories. The Night Before Christmas names eight: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen.

Dasher - The first reindeer and the right-hand leader of the sleigh before Rudolph was included. He is the speediest reindeer.
Dancer - The second reindeer and the left leader before Rudolph was included. She is the graceful reindeer.
Prancer - The third reindeer and on the right in the second row. She is the most powerful reindeer.
Vixen - The fourth reindeer and on the left-hand side in the second row. She is beautiful, and also powerful like her companion Prancer.
Comet - The fifth reindeer and on the right-hand side in the third row. He brings wonder and happiness to children when Santa flies over everyone's houses.
Cupid - The sixth reindeer and on the left-hand side in the third row. She brings love and joy to children when Santa flies over everyone's houses.
Donder - The seventh reindeer and on the right-hand side in the fourth row. He is the "thunder" reindeer. (Donder�s name is often misspoken as Donner, in fact it is spoken wrong so often that most people believe it to be the latter.)
Blitzen - The eighth reindeer and on the left-hand side in the fourth row. She is the "lightning" reindeer, but in American pop culture Blitzen is frequently portrayed as a male (for instance, in the animated Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Blitzen is the coach of the reindeer games).

poor old Dasher - what's the use of being the fastest? (But at least, unlike most of the others, his view changes!)

yes , there was the other reindeer called olive
"olive the other reindeer, used to laugh and call him names"

Lol - you're nuts you lot, you know......!

Olive the other reindeer!!?? HOnestly!! Lol

Anyway, it's totally unfair - what about equal opportunities?? Rudolph should never have been allowed to continue guiding that sleigh since it isn't always foggy on Christmas Eve (- well.......except over London!!!) and what about women's Lib, eh? Why does a male have to pull the sleigh??? Hmm? Don't answer that one!!! Lol
