It's more or less an adaptation to how they move around on their feet. Horses, like ungulates like cattle, deer, sheep and goats, don't need to rotate their forelimbs like cats or primates have to to grab on to things with their paws/hands. Since ungulates do not have paws or hands but hooves, all they need is enough bone structure to support their weight on their toes.
