Consider the structure of the horse - four limbs, an extended spine to produce a tail, a neck that raises and lowers. Not only must the blood reach down the legs, it must also be forced, by the mass flow of blood, back up the legs, as well as up and down the neck to the brain, and all the way along the spine to the dock.
To provide blood to all these places at rest and at exercise, the heart must be very strong and be large enough to pump a sufficient volume of blood.
