Horses in Oblivion are not that great, honestly. They are far more expensive than the horses in skyrim and there are only two "good" horses in the game:  Shadowmere and the Unicorn, in that order.

Shadowmere is unkillable, he only gets knocked unconscious. He also moves faster than even the standard Black Horses. The only downside to him is you need to join the Dark Brotherhood to get him.

The Unicorn is immune to normal weapons, and that is about it for his good points. The downside is that you need to kill him if you want the Oghma Infinium.

The rest of the Horses can be sorted by speed and health.

You can't take any horses with you into the Shivering Isles.
