Package deal, yes, but horses are manufactured also.

The faulty Monk was turned out into the desert where it could believe what it liked, including the idea that it had been hard done by. It was allowed to keep its horse, since horses were so cheap to make.

I'm reading this to mean that the manufactured horse is a perfect representation of natural horses. It seems the monk was humanoid by accident (and cheapness, but why two eyes?), but the horses were designed to be equinoid.
