The entire of Boys For Pele is kind of a break-up album, it's all centred around the end of a relationship anyway. She takes us on a journey through her pain, and Horses is the beginning.
She's looking back at their relationship:
"you showed me the meadow
and Milkwood
and Silkwood
and you would if I would
but you never would"
And the horses represent her escape from the pain of the end of the relationship..they're a positive thing, coming in to rescue her...
