Are there any construct horses? Living or otherwise?

The effigy template (Complete Arcane, p. 151) can be applied to a horse and make it a construct.

The MMIV has the Clockwork Steed, and theres something called the Brass Stallion?...somewhere (it can shoot a scorching ray from it's eyes!).

Thanks. The stone horses aren't permanent enough. The effigy template sounds promising. I think I have a friend with complete arcane...

The stone horse is as permanent as a construct, minus the fact that Disjunction can kill it, and it is only lightly more durable than a typical horse (the Hardness 10 playing a large role in that).

Originally from the SRD
Obsidian Steed: This figurine appears to be a small, shapeless lump of black stone. Only careful inspection reveals that it vaguely resembles some form of quadruped. On command, the near-formless piece of obsidian becomes a fantastic mount. Treat it as a heavy warhorse with the following additional powers usable once per round at will: overland flight, plane shift, and ethereal jaunt. The steed allows itself to be ridden, but if the rider is of good alignment, the steed is 10% likely per use to carry him to the lower planes and then return to its statuette form. The statuette can be used once per week for one continuous period of up to 24 hours. Note that when an obsidian steed becomes ethereal or plane shifts, its rider and his gear follow suit. Thus, the user can travel to other planes via this means.

You mean this? Or am I missiing something?

I mean this:

Stone Horse

Each item of this nature appears to be a fullsized, roughly hewn statue of a horse, carved from some type of hard stone. A command word brings the steed to life, enabling it to carry a burden and even to attack as if it were a real horse of the appropriate kind.

A stone horse can carry 1,000 pounds tirelessly and never needs to rest or feed. Damage dealt to it can be repaired by first using a stone to flesh spell, thus causing the stone horse to become a normal horse that can be healed normally. When fully healed, it automatically reverts to its stone form. While in its stone form, it can be fed gems, healing 1 point of damage for each 50 gp worth of mineral it is given.

There are two sorts of stone horses.

Courser
This item has the statistics of a heavy horse as well as having hardness 10.

Destrier
This item has the statistics of a heavy warhorse as well as having hardness 10.

Strong transmutation; CL 14th; Craft Wondrous Item, flesh to stone, animate objects; Price 10,000 gp (courser) or 14,800 gp (destrier);Weight 6,000 lb.

Oh? But have you all forgotten the Equine Golem? Its a golem (of sorts) made of wood that is in the shape of a horse. Its in Arms and Equipment Guide.
