Due to the animal's appearance and name, sometimes seahorses are portrayed as the underwater equivalent of horses, and can be ridden by characters or used as chariot pullers. This is particularly humorous, since Real Life seahorses are very, very small, the largest not exceeding 8 inches in length, and as slow as a fish can get without being totally immobile. Unlike most fish which move by using their pectoral fins to go slowly or their entire bodies to move quickly, seahorses swim by pushing themselves forward using only their dorsal fins. Since they spend most of their lives among coral or seaweed sucking up tiny crustaceans, they really don't need to be fast or agile.

See also Seahorses Are Dragons for another creature that seahorses are often compared to. |

Giant seahorses are the steeds of choice for Xebelians (Mera's people) in Aquaman. Atlanteans prefer sharks. Arthur/Aquaman, of course, gets to ride a seahorse in the finale. | |

No actual riding was involved, but it nevertheless bears mentioning that the original My Little Pony cartoon got in on the act as well with the Seaponies, their debut involving an infamously trippy musical number. | |

In World of Warcraft: An early quest in the Vashj'ir underwater zone of the Cataclysm expansion allows the character to obtain such a mount, which is the fastest way to move there (and it is only usable there). Also since Cataclysm, a seahorse mount that can be used in all of the other water zones of the game is obtainable, although it's a very, very rare drop. |

The Pokémon Horsea and Skrelp (and their other evolutionary relatives), despite being very small, can be taught the move Surf via TM, which lets them ferry their Trainer around. You don't actually get to see yourself riding them, due to the game using a generic sprite depiction for all surfing Pokemon. Their fully evolved forms are around six feet long/tall and make more plausible steeds. |

Aquaman sometimes rides a giant seahorse, named Storm (in the Silver Age, anyway). Storm returned a couple of times in the modern age, with writers and artists doing their best to make a giant seahorse Darker and Edgier. In Blackest Night, Black Lantern Aquaman rides a zombified Storm. | |

Kingdom of Loathing's "Under the Sea" quest was updated to include this. After rescuing the Sea Monkees, you can ask about the currents and you end up on a quest to tame a sea horse, granting you access past the currents and into the Merfolk's city as well as increase combat initiative. Hilariously enough, the sea horse side-quest is also one massive reference to My Little Pony as the seahorse's random name generator produces a pony-like name and it's implied to be as colorful as they are. | |

In Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance], Sora can ride the Tatsu Steed and Tatsu Blaze Dream Eaters if he performs a Link Attack with them. Notable in that they're the flying sort of seahorse, and they also move extremely slowly like actual sea horses. The purpose of the move is to use them as a turret of sorts rather then transportation, though. | |
