Tradition. Many carousels have a variety of animals , and some have big high-backed benches like thrones.
Horses are usually the animals featured on fairground carousels. There might also be fictional animals of a similar nature such as unicorns but they are animals one can ride.

Carousels are often seen as a symbol of childhood innocence, joy, and nostalgia. The spinning motion can represent the cycle of life or the passage of time. The brightly colored horses and music can evoke feelings of happiness and playfulness.

Carousels have always been associated with horses as they came from a cavalry training device used by Turkish and Arabian soldiers at the time of the crusades and back in Europe the term became used for mounted displays. But for the modern usage of carousel, then it is during the 1700s that they began to be used in fairgrounds where the wooden horses would be attached by poles or chains and would fly out via centrifugal force.
There is evidence that an early form of the carousel existed in Europe in the 12th century, although the version we are familiar with (the merry-go-round, with painted ponies and music) didn't become popular in the United States till the 1870s. The early carousels were powered by a mule or a horse. Later, carousels used steam power and then electricity.
No! Carousels move in a circle (at least all the carousels I know do) in circular motion there is constant acceleration directed towards the center of the circle of magnitude a=v2/r
