I'm in my tiny little private meditation Island in the middle of the sea and two horses appeared out of nowhere?

That's very astute juanito, well done.
The game generates NPCs in order to keep life-form ratios fairly constant. If the creature is of a type that has parents (bears, chickens, people, etc.) then there needs to be a mom to give birth to the new life.
First the game will look for pregnant females of that type, but if it can't find any it has to generate a new pregnant mom, then have her immediately give birth. This magical appearance is not very smooth, so what I intend to do is have it happen on a tile with no active players. That way everything appears normal. I haven't gotten to this yet, that's why you saw the horses appear out of nowhere.
