Template:Nonexistent Horses do not exist in RuneScape and are considered to be mythical creatures by the inhabitants of Gielinor. However, there are many references to horses in the game, and a few in the novel Return to Canifis:
- Toy horsies, which were part of an April Fools' joke in 2004. Many players had requested horses for RuneScape, and the update poked fun at them
- A painted kiteshield and banner with a horse crest on it. Players must have a toy horsey in their inventory.
- Before if players travelled between Shilo Village and Brimhaven using the Shilo Village cart system, you would get the message: "You jump into the cart and the driver urges the horses on. You take a taxing journey through the jungle to Brimhaven/Shilo Village." Even though horses are mentioned, they were never seen.
- In Horvik's shop, there are horseshoes on his wall. When examined, they say "these would make fine shoes for...um...unicorns".
- The Flying Horse Inn in East Ardougne.
- When summoning the fairy dragon K'klik, you may choose to ask him for a horse to which he replies that there are no horses in RuneScape.
- The half-man, half-horse Centaurs, and their examine information: "Horseplay".
- Unicorns, the horse-like creatures that are common in RuneScape, though mythical in the real world. The examine text for a Unicorn is in fact "horse with a horn".
- If you ask Sylas about things he has found during the Grim Tales quest, he will say that he once found a unicorn without a horn. The player will be amazed.
- Horses, a colour changing chicken seen during Halloween 2011.
- Horses are briefly mentioned in the Zarosian lore 'Twice Burnt'.
- A ports update states: "Your ship (...) has passed an island where natives ride on strange beasts like hornless unicorns". This suggests that horses exist in the eastern lands.
