16:8

وَٱلْخَيْلَ وَٱلْبِغَالَ وَٱلْحَمِيرَ لِتَرْكَبُوهَا وَزِينَةً وَيَخْلُقُ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

Why this meaning was chosen

The sole plural occurrence stands between horses and donkeys in a coordinated animal list whose stated functions are riding and adornment. The artifact records that concrete referent without adding biological detail absent from the verse.
