Lara Laramie's Rapidash only appeared in The Flame Pokémon-athon!. After Growlithe attempted to stop Ash, Lara came riding in on her Ponyta. She believed him and his friends to be Pokémon Poachers, but soon learned they weren't. However, when Ash tried to pet Ponyta, it burned him.
It later appeared when a herd of Tauros got out of control. Lara tried to stop them but fell off Ponyta, breaking her arm. Back at the ranch, Lara could not enter the race because of her injury, so Ash decided he would step in for Lara. She agreed to let Ash use Ponyta.
During the race the following day, Team Rocket tried to rig it so that Dario would win. However, with the help of Misty and her Starmie, Team Rocket was distracted and Ash was able to catch up to Dario and his Dodrio.
Dario tried to slow Ponyta down with a Peck, but suddenly Ponyta evolved into a Rapidash and won the race.
Rapidash's only known move is Stomp.

In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga
Lara Laramie makes an appearance in the manga series The Electric Tale of Pikachu. In the chapter The Human Race and the Pokémon Race, she was injured by her Ponyta, which was spooked by Dario. Outraged at Dario's trickery, Ash offers to ride Ponyta in the Fuchsia Free-For-All Race in Lara's place.
During the race, Ponyta evolves into Rapidash under Ash's care.
Pokémon
Lara's Rapidash first appeared as a Ponyta. She wanted to enter the Fuchsia Free-For-All Race with Ponyta but could not do so as her arm was in a cast. However, Ash volunteered to take her place. The next day, he is racing on Ponyta and is catching up to Dario. However, Dario had one more trick up his sleeve. He sent out Squirtle, Wartortle and Blastoise to hold Ponyta back with their Hydro Pump. Despite the type-disadvantage, Ponyta did not give up and was able to resist Squirtle and its evolutions. It evolved into a Rapidash to catch up with Dario and his Dodrio as Ash was way behind in the race. With its newfound speed, it bypassed Dario and won the race.
Rapidash's only known move is Fire Spin.
