Specifically, I think one gets beheaded. It's considered in poor taste by the onlookers, but it happens.

In the very first episode of The Walking Dead, the horse that Rick rides to Atlanta is eaten by walkers. Then, in season 5, Daryl and Aaron are outside of Alexandria and a horse named Buttons is also eaten.

As Ellie is riding away from the group of men her horse is shot from underneath her. It's particularly sad since she was just giving it water the scene before. :(
They also end up eating the horse.

Horses feature, and like dogs and cats, they *can* die, but they can be prevented from dying.

Horse spooks and jumps off ferryboat. Get shredded by the ferry's propellers. Don't actually see the death, but the blood comes out from under the ferry indicating what happened and it's upsetting.

Horses are common in Skyrim and are almost always killable. (You can kill Shadowmere but she respawns at her death place after a while) and in Helgen, a dragon is shown to kill a horse in the middle of the town.

In the first episode alone, the opening scene, a house is badly injured and trapped by an accident and the main character has to shoot him. Horrifying but Humane and he shows great care to express that he wouldn't want this.
Horse deaths are implied or off screen. For what it’s worth, the main characters of the film go to great lengths to protect/rescue their horses once they understand what’s happening.
One character considers the horses disposable, but their plan fails and the horse survives.
