A tale as old as time - a girl falling in love with her occasionally-transforming horse.

While that may not be the exact saying, it is almost exactly the storyline of Comet, a mind-reading, immortal super-horse looking for love. Mercifully, Comet never comes onto Supergirl while a horse, as he can turn into a human while a comet is in the same solar system as him. While this is great because there’s at least technically no bestiality, Comet is still a horse most of the time, which means his relationship with a human is still a little odd.

Possibly more important is the fact he never actually reveals who he is to Supergirl - so as far as she’s aware, she dates some dude whose presence weirdly coincides with space rocks. This also means the poor girl had no idea she was secretly dating a horse, which in retrospect is maybe for the best.

Comet also had a short romance with Lois Lane, showing that apparently, all you need to do to get mad dating game is secretly be a horse.
