* ''[[The Adventures of Brisco County Jr]]'': In "Crystal Hawks", Brisco is separated from Comet the Wonderhorse and has to buy a temporary replacement horse. Problem is, he's only got thirty dollars in his pocket. The resultant horse is so slow, stubborn, and dumb that Lord Bowler calls it a lemon when he sees it.
* 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 [[Refuge in Audacity|(and his jockey).]]
* The nag the crew from ''[[Hustle]]'' attempt to pass off as a race horse in "Signing Up to Wealth".

* In ''[[Mount and& 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 ''[[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.
