The Canadian government site has a geographical names query; you can
access it at:

http://gnss.nrcan.gc.ca/gnss-srt/searchName.jsp?language=en

Going to the advanced search, entering 'horse as the search term, and
'river' as the query type and 'Alberta' as the province yield this:

Horse Island Creek - River - Alberta
Horse Creek - River - Alberta
Horsehills Creek - River - Alberta
Horseguard Creek - River - Alberta
Horse River - River - Alberta
Horseshoe Creek - River - Alberta
