A Horse of a Different Color indeed — and an entirely different nature. Combining the coolness of a horse with the tireless reliability of a machine, the Mechanical Horse is, at its most basic level, a motorbike with legs. (If it doesn't have legs, see My Horse Is a Motorbike.) The Mechanical Horse will usually be a robot, but some Steampunk universes feature clockwork horses. This is a mechanised version of the Diligent Draft Animal when the horse is used for carrying loads.
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. But engineers find it very challenging to overcome all of the problems with moving around on legs, on any uneven surface, without falling down. As an odd example, the US military once funded experimentation into a "walking truck", a horse-like machine designed as an all-terrain mount and transport. (It looks really weird.)◊
Not to be confused with horses treated like machines, the identically-named vintage vehicle, or a type of kiddie ride. A really big mechanical horse with some of the animal traits taken away and some weapons added is basically a Spider Tank.
Sub-Trope to Mechanical Animals.

In Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny, Jubei finds a strange metal sphere with an indentation bearing the word "Faith". When Jubei uses the Faith Orb given to him by Oyu on the sphere it unpacks into a mechanical horse.

SD Gundam Force gives us two — well, three examples, all originating from the country of Ark, which has influences from G Gundam and the Musha Gundam series';
The first is Entengo, Bakunetsumaru's steed, widely believed to be an Expy of Fuunsaiki.
Next are the horses pulling Kibaomaru's chariot Oshogo. According to the Zako Zako Hour, their names are Kakuryu and Hiryu. Given that Kibaomaru is an Expy of the Zeus Gundam, it's more than likely that Oshogo is a reference to the Hercules Chariot used by that Gundam.

The fan-favorite He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983) episode "Origin of the Sorceress" features Stridor, Man-At-Arms' hand-built robot mount for He-Man, which Cringer/Battle Cat views with no small amount of distaste. It even gets a Heroic Sacrifice-turned-Disney Death fighting a villain called... wait for it... Morgoth the Terrible.

Bronze, the Steel General's steed in Creatures of Light and Darkness, is a magically enhanced mechanical horse that can ride through space. With each step it takes, it travels twice as far as the previous. It is said that with a sufficient run-up, it could circumnavigate the universe in a single stride.

In Making Money, the horses are golems — clay automatons — and the only one to ride them notes just how uncomfortable a terra cotta saddle is. That one character reasons that, since (some) golems can talk (it partially has to do with how they're "built"), then... why can't a golem horse? So he asks one what it wants, and gets an answer: permission to actually act like a horse, including time to just run around, and occasionally roll around in fields.

In Westworld, the artificial horses are built in much of the same manner as their human counterparts and consist largely 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 Diamond Age has mechanical horses; one of the main characters is given one with directions preprogrammed into it as a way of taking him to a secret location. Interesting in that they're specifically mentioned as being capable of using different gaits: galloping like a horse on smooth, level terrain, but more like a big cat when walking on steep, uneven terrain.

SD Gundam frequently features mechanical horses due to its heavy use of samurai and knight settings. Some characters (such as Musha Zeta and Knight Gundam), even have centaur forms where they can combine with their steed. Perhaps topping them all, Ryofu Tallgeese in the current (as of early 2009) series SD Gundam BB Senshi Sangokuden has a powerful robotic horse that can also transform into a motorbike.

The Myth of Link & Zelda: Breath of the Wild adapts the namesake game, including the various DLCs, such as "The Champions' Ballad". At the end of it, Link fights Monk Maz Koshia and earns the Master Cycle Zero, which just as in canon, is unicorn-shaped. Except this time, there's also Divine Beast Vah Eponia, named for Link's loyal horse throughout the ages, and the Divine Beast of nature which is also shaped like a massive horse. Monk Maz Koshia serves as its pilot in place of Link by whom the beast is meant to be piloted.

Dungeons & Dragons:
Lord Robilar in the Greyhawk setting (one of the original characters in the setting, created while Gary Gygax was playtesting the game) rode a mechanical destrier (a magically animated horse automaton).
3rd Edition includes "stone horses," Living Statues that serve whoever speaks their command word. They have the game stats of heavy horses and the Damage Reduction of stone.
Equine golems are crafted from hardwood and can gallop non-stop without tiring, though anyone who tries to ride one for more than eight hours a day is going to be fatigued since their mount doesn't flex beneath them like a living horse.
Clockwork steeds were introduced in a late 3rd Edition Monster Manual, and boast a suspension system that makes them more comfortable to ride than equine golems, have a variety of optional upgrades such as combat features and additional armor, and are so easy to handle that even a novice rider can control them. The downside is that if their rider ever becomes incapacitated, the clockwork steed will immediately come to a halt, and they'll obey the commands of any rider, such as a thief who shoved their unconscious owner out of the saddle.
The Eberron campaign setting features automaton horses.

Fallout 3 has an ad for "Giddyup Buttercup" ("The Ultimate in Equestrian Robotics!") which appears in multiple locations. In the Mothership Zeta add-on, you find a room full of them in the alien mothership — along with a number of dead aliens that have apparently been kicked to death.

Ascendance of a Bookworm: Members of the Supernatural Elite can make highbeasts, which are essentially magic-powered moving statues that look like winged horses. Some people give them the form of the winged version of another ridable animal, making Horse of a Different Color quite common.

Girl Genius:
One of the accomplishments of the Spark known as the Iron Sheik is that he built a Mechanical Camel.
Bill and Barry Heterodyne rode to Mechanicsburg on horse clanks faster than possible when they heard about the attack.
One of the Foglios' interludes involves a Spark opera featuring a mechanical roller-skating giraffe. There's no mention of it being ridden, which is probably for the better.

Gundam:
SD Gundam frequently features mechanical horses due to its heavy use of samurai and knight settings. Some characters (such as Musha Zeta and Knight Gundam), even have centaur forms where they can combine with their steed. Perhaps topping them all, Ryofu Tallgeese in the current (as of early 2009) series SD Gundam BB Senshi Sangokuden has a powerful robotic horse that can also transform into a motorbike.
Mobile Fighter G Gundam gives us Fuunsaiki, a Mecha horse piloted by an actual horse.
SD Gundam Force gives us two — well, three examples, all originating from the country of Ark, which has influences from G Gundam and the Musha Gundam series';
The first is Entengo, Bakunetsumaru's steed, widely believed to be an Expy of Fuunsaiki.
Next are the horses pulling Kibaomaru's chariot Oshogo. According to the Zako Zako Hour, their names are Kakuryu and Hiryu. Given that Kibaomaru is an Expy of the Zeus Gundam, it's more than likely that Oshogo is a reference to the Hercules Chariot used by that Gundam.

The Motu Patlu 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.

Warhammer 40,000:
In addition to fully robotic mounts, there are heavily augmented bionic horses, cyber-wolves and cyber-boars.
Mogul Kamir of the Attilan Rough Riders was gifted such a horse by the Adeptus Mechanicus. He was known for previously riding a lot of horses to death.
Speaking of the Mechanicus, in 2020 they received a fully playable example of this trope in the form of the Serberys Cavalry, available in two flavours: the Serberys Raiders and their clawed robot horses, and the Serberys Sulphurhounds, who are more partial to fire-breathing robot greyhounds.

Warhammer features the mechanical steed. This is sufficiently ridiculous for even the distinctively over-the-top Warhammer world that many Empire players consider it Fanon Discontinuity.

He can combine with it to form a mecha-centaur, and then further combine with it to form a horse-based Megazord. The Hero can form this Megazord as well, and they later one-upped themselves by giving him his own mecha unicorn. A later villain has a chariot pulled by two similar mecha-horses.

However, the novels state that his cyborg horses (he goes through several) are just standard model with nothing special about them in the context of the setting, but he somehow manages to make them incredibly fast and agile just by sitting on their back.

The Defiant faction in Rift can get "eldritch steeds", which play the trope straight with Magitek.

Rifts features both Robot and Bionic horses (Yes, as in real horses turned into Cyborgs). They've proven to be extremely popular for the companies that make them (Rule of Cool is a very real market force among post-post-apocalyptic adventurers and mercenaries), to the point that some are making fantastical variations like Unicorn(with a silver-plated vibro-blade horn), Pegasus(functional wings, but held aloft by hover thrusters), Sea Horse, and Monster.

The Animatrix has a few robots riding robotic "horses" into combat in The Second Renaissance: Part II. One scene has a Machine ride a mechanical "horse" while blowing a trumpet before finally falling. As with the later Machines (such as sentinels), the "horse" only resembles a horse in general form and design.

Sword Art Online: Among Gun-Gale Online's in-game vehicles are robotic horses. In an amusing inversion of Automaton Horses, they are fully robotic, but notorious for being more temperamental than actual horses, to the point where players who can ride in real life can't get them to listen.

Horizon Zero Dawn: Since all the machines are built to look like animals, there's naturally a machine horse, called a Strider. Aloy can tame them and use them as mounts once she figures out how to hack machines.
