Hi,

Yes, the horse can qualify for bonus depreciation.

Thank you,

Publication 946 page 24 describes what property qualifies and what would be the exception to the rule. https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p946.pdf

There is nothing in the Excepted property about Livestock. It does call out that Livestock is considered Tangible Personal Property.
