Why is it masculine?
Caballo descends from Latin "caballus," which was grammatically masculine, and Spanish inherited this gender assignment along with the word itself during the Romance language evolution from Vulgar Latin. The masculine gender stuck because gender in Romance languages is largely arbitrary and inherited from their Latin predecessors rather than derived from logical rules about the noun's meaning.
