The song is called "A Horse With No Name" so I'd bet it's safe to assume the horse was indeed nameless. And Dewey Bunnell, the guy who wrote the song, was quoted as saying about his horseback trip into the desert to shoot an album cover photo, "We had fun, but I don’t recall the name of the horse I rode while I was out there". All signs point to a horse that was just "horse".

I loved that song. A friend asked me, “What does it mean though?” I didn’t even try to explain, you just enjoy it for what it is.

I honestly always thought it was referencing a sex-drought because it came out during the second sexual revolution.
