I've been trying to get these photos from Purple Rain for months! Finally the library had the DVD available!
This film doesn't really have anything to do with horses, just that the protagonist, "The Kid", has sort of a foofy lifestyle with harlequin dolls and fluffy shirts and too much eye make-up (but he still likes girls, if you catch my drift). But he DOES have plenty of HSOs (Horse-Shaped Objects), with unidentified unicorns and pegasi, and some very identifiables for our enjoyment!
In an intro shot to The Kid's lovely basement apartment (cough cough), we get a close-up of an old Hartland "Horse and Rider" series horse. I THINK it might be Dale Evans' "Buttermilk" or maybe Palladin's Horse.

Bad Apollonia, ignoring the poor bent-over Breyer Fighting Stallion on the shelf behind her!


Later on, pondering his father's words, we see a horse-shaped blur behind him.

Another opening shot towards the end of the film, more random HSOs.

And we tickle the ivories half-naked by candlelight.

We never get a good shot of them, but I swear the one on the left is the Classic Arabian Stallion:
