There is the Cool Horse... and then there's this, the four-legged equivalent of The Alleged Car, a broken-down nag destined for the knacker's yard or the glue factory — or it would be, if it hadn't somehow wound up in the hero's possession. Any member of the genus Equus can qualify. If the animal's appearance turns out to be deceptive and it's unusually strong or fast, or Took a Level in Badass through training, then it may be a stealth or an outright Cool Horse. Could perhaps make more sense being retained than the inanimate related tropes, given that the steed is alive, so disposing of it would be unheroic and they're more conducive to becoming attached to. May overlap with Moody Mount. See Horsing Around for healthy horses with attitude problems. Compare with The Alleged Car, The Alleged Computer, and The Alleged House for other items of dubious quality. Delicate and Sickly is the human equivalent, especially when it comes to young females. |

In Magic's Promise by Mercedes Lackey, Lord Withen Ashkevron buys a vile-tempered horse that's alleged to be a "Shin'a'in warsteed." (He's about as Shin'a'in as Vanyel). Fortunately for Withen's investment, the "Grey Horse" manages to be a success at stud, passing on his heavier build but not his personality. | |

An episode of Bottom revolves around A Simple Plan to raise £500 to place a bet at long odds on a three-legged blind horse called Sad Ken, after the bookie tricks them into thinking it's a dead cert. His performance is about as good as you'd expect, and the commentator informs us that they've had to shoot him (and his jockey). | |

Wit's horse in Kajko i Kokosz. He sure looks the part and is cowardly enough to climb trees when threatened. Since his master is a Warrior Poet with dreams of heroism and little common sense, a steed that actively avoids danger is an asset most of the time. | |

In Mount & Blade: Warband, you generally start with the worst horse in the game, unless you take very specific choices during character creation (which requires your character be female), then you start with the fastest of the fragile speedsters worth bothering with (the only faster horse is stupidly expensive if it is ever generated at all). | |

In one Looney Tunes short, Porky Pig buys the racehorse Tea Biscuit (based on Real Life example Seabiscuit, see below), an out-of-shape nag subject to coughing fits, and more interested in the trombone on the marching band than in racing. It wins the race anyway, after it's spooked by a popped balloon and runs the track in record speed. | |

Gravedale High: In "Frankenjockey", a race horse named Hoover, who has never won a single race, escapes and befriends Frankentyke, who is annoyed at first, but warms up to him. However, when Max calls a hotline and reports Hoover's escape, Liverpool, Hoover's trainer's, true colors are shown, and the bet is that if Hoover wins the race, he's set free. Unfortunately, Hoover and Frankentyke lose by mugging in the photo finish, but Sid points out that the rival horse switched jockeys, which means Hoover wins in the end. | |

On the Classic Disney Short "They're Off!", Goofy bets on Snapshot III, the even money candidate, while someone else bets on the 100 to 1 shot Old Moe. Snapshot easily takes the lead and even trips up the other racers... except Old Moe, who through sheer perseverance closes up the gap, leading to a photo finish. The winner is Old Moe, because Snapshot couldn't resist posing for the camera. | |

Our Miss Brooks: In "Geraldine", Benny Romero talks Miss Brooks into buying a sixteen-year-old swayback mare for the Miss Nestor's school's riding academy. "Geraldine" does prove to be a horse of unique value: it turns out she's expecting and by episode's end gives birth to triplets. In Real Life, the chances of a mare giving birth to live triplets is 1 in 300,000. | |

If the PCs aren't careful when buying from the traders they can end up with a couple of "swaybacked, potbellied, spavined old plugs" pretending to be draft horses. The horses are 50% likely to stop every turn to rest, and if pushed by hard riding or carrying a heavy load they have a 50% chance of dying every 10 minutes. | |

In Red Dead Redemption, the cheapest horses (as well as the easier ones to unlock in multiplayer) are diseased, weak, and tend to be very slow. You can also find donkeys in Mexico, which look healthier but move even slower. | |

The Pink Panther: In "Pinto Pink", the horse is not only rather shabby, but also very gleeful. (Pink Panthers idea to pimp it by nailing roller skates under its hooves only increases the load of Amusing Injuries.) | |

In one episode of Goof Troop, Pete wins a horse like this in a card game. He manages to turn it to his advantage by included shares of the horse's winnings with the used cars he sells, not worried about paying many times its winnings because it would never win anything. Unfortunately said horse is one of said stealth cool horses once its broken shoe is fixed, and Pete ends up with a Springtime for Hitler on his hands. | |

One episode of Garfield and Friends had a feline companion of Cactus Jake (who, of course, resembled Garfield) being riddled with what he described as "the only horse in the world that's allergic to cats", hence the horse sneezing all the time and not being very useful. | |

Coriander, carthorse for Acquisitions Incorporated: The C Team, is described in terms like "horse-style pull-creature." Doesn't stop her becoming a beloved Team Pet. The implication that she's not a real horse becomes darkly ironic after she's killed and comes back as a part-Planimal, part-Mechanical Horse. | |

The parson Yorick in The Life And Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman, owned one, explicitly compared to Rocinante.

The Disney animated short The Small One is about a boy and his beloved donkey whom he can no longer afford to keep. The donkey is too weak to work, and the only person interested in buying him is a tanner who plans to make him into leather. In the end, the boy gives the donkey to the biblical Mary and Joseph so the pregnant Mary can ride him to Jerusalem. | |
