Since the horse is not introduced until the final sentence in the presented paragraph there are probably some other sentences which introduce the horse.

All in all this seems to be an example of poet usage.

Hope this is helpful.

"..." means for brevity some word or words have been excluded.

This may contain facts, logic and reasoning that may be wrong.
