* The ''Animation/MotuPatlu'' episode "Robot Horse", as suggested by its title, has Motu and Patlu borrowing a robotic horse from Dr. Jhatka to replace the real horse they used to replace their bikes. The robotic horse, unlike the real horse, doesn't annoy people by eating their vegetables and crops... actually, it annoys people by eating jewelry, and the villain John the Don uses this to his advantage by hijacking the robot horse.

* The horses in the ''Film/{{Westworld}}'' film are very life-like, but are actually robots, much like their humanoid counterparts. During one particular scene set at the robot repair lab, we can see a few inanimate horses lying on large operating tables, waiting for repairs along with the human robots and other animal robots.

* In the ''Series/{{Westworld}}'' series, the artificial horses are built in much of the same manner as their human counterparts, and consist largelly of tissues similar to organic ones, operated by a control unit in their skull. Like all animals in the Delos parks, they are of a lower intelligence than the humanoid hosts. They exhibit typical horse-like behaviour, but don't seem vulnerable to the simulated ammunition ("simunition") used by park guests and the parks' host characters.

The idea is not quite as ludicrous as it sounds. Biological horses can walk on vastly more kinds of terrain than a wheeled vehicle (not to mention they are perfectly amphibious), and it would be quite useful if there were a machine that could do the same thing.
