Contrast Hamlet and Horatio.I need some examples as well. I can't find anything other than their involvement in the Claudius vs Hamlet situation??

Since you indicate that you are only interested in
contrasting Hamlet and Horatio, then I will assume that you are looking for ways in
which they are different, or moments when they come into conflict with each
other.

The first moment in which there is contrast between
them, is when Hamlet insists, in Act I, scene iv, upon following the Ghost wherever it
might lead.  Their (abridged) exchange goes like
this:

Hamlet

It
will not speak.  Then I will follow
it.

Horatio

Do
not, my
lord.

Hamlet

Why,
what should be the fear?

. . .I'll follow
it.

Horatio

What
if it tempt you toward the flood, my lord,

Or to the
dreadful summit of the cliff. . .

And draw you into
madness?. .
.

Hamlet

Go
on, I'll follow thee. . . Hold off your
hands.

Horatio

Be
rul'd; you shall not
go.

Hamlet

By
heaven, I'll make a ghost of him that lets me.

I say away
-- Go on.  I'll follow
thee.

In this scene, the two
characters can be contrasted by the rash, headstrong, and reckless way that Hamlet is
determined to follow the Ghost versus Horatio's cautious, more logical and somewhat
fearful warnings.

The other moment in which there is
obvious contrast between them is in Act V, scene ii, when Hamlet has received the
challenge from Laertes and determines to accept the wager.  Again, an abridgement of
their conversation:

Horatio

You
will lose, my
lord.

Hamlet

I
do not think so. . . Thou wouldst not think how ill all's here about my heart; but it is
no
matter.

Horatio

Nay,
good my lord. . . .If your mind dislike anything, obey it. I will forestall their repair
hither and say you are not
fit.

Hamlet

Not
a whit.  We defy augury. . .Let
be.

In this scene, Hamlet
senses some danger or potential treachery, but chooses to ignore it, or go forward, even
as he is aware of it.  Horatio, on the other hand, would have him play it safe and avoid
the potential danger, again operating from a more logical, reasonable and "safe"
perspective than Hamlet.
