You can use any kind of graphic or symbol as plot marker. Just
genereate them with the Mathematica drawing tools (see Graphics menu)
and copy them in the PlotMarkers option. For the horizontal line you
could use the minus sign, the Dash or LongDash characters or a drawn
horizontal line in a graphic.
Copying graphics from an outside source should also be possible.
If you want to see what automatic markers are avaible try something
like
ListPlot[Table[{i, i + 1, i + 2}, {i, 20}], PlotMarkers -> Automatic]
