While it is true that a horse is composed of various different chemicals, it is not possible to use these chemicals as a propellant for a spacecraft. Burning the chemicals contained in a horse's body would not generate adequate thrust to power a spacecraft. In order to generate enough thrust to propel a spacecraft, a combination of volatile chemicals such as liquid hydrogen and oxygen must be used, which produce an exothermic reaction when ignited within a combustion chamber. As a result, it is not possible to use a horse as a propellant for a spacecraft.
