Probably due to budget.
Creating horses requires a lot of new animations - both for the horses themselves (anything from walk cycles to reactions) and for any sims interacting with the the horses. Game animation can be very expensive, because it's difficult and time-intensive to do them well, and those animations are going to eat up a large chunk of a proposed pack's budget. They might have talked about whether it was feasible to do horses as a game pack, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was always planned for an EP for these reasons.
