What does Horsey mean?

I don't have a mouse.
Horsey is just something for little kids to make them happy. It has absolutely no meaning, hence kids get excited to post it.

They say

I'm always using it as "We're having horse meat for dinner tonight".

Interesting statement of yours.
But there should also be many adults who still have a childlike mind.
In my opinion ... Horsey is a ludicrous chess figure, a jester for lichess.

Some like to horsey around with posts to joke about the subject.
Only a horsey would say something like that.
It a response to stuff a post with glee, when the other icons don't fit.
A he, ha, he, ha response, which is the sound of a donkey or horsey.

Is it a mascot?
I guess it's an expression of shock. The kind of shock you get when a knight fork your King and Queen.
