Background

EntityHorseis used as the entity value for horse, donkey, mule, zombie horse and skeleton horse in Minecraft 1.10:
What are NBT tags (formerly called Data Tags)?
NBT tags allow you to set certain properties of an entity (such as EntityHorse). The NBT tag is always surrounded in {} such as {Type:0}. If there is more than one NBT tag used in a game command, the NBT tags are separated by a comma such as {Type:0, Variant:259}.

NBT Tag Examples
To summon a wild horse:
/summon EntityHorse ~ ~ ~ {Type:0}
To summon a tame donkey wearing a saddle and chest:
/summon EntityHorse ~ ~ ~ {Type:1, Tame:1, SaddleItem:{id:saddle,Count:1}, ChestedHorse:1}
To summon a tame zombie horse wearing a saddle:
/summon EntityHorse ~ ~ ~ {Type:3, Tame:1, SaddleItem:{id:saddle,Count:1}}
To summon a tame skeleton horse wearing a saddle:
/summon EntityHorse ~ ~ ~ {Type:4, Tame:1, SaddleItem:{id:saddle,Count:1}}
To summon a horse that has 4 custom drops (3 redstone, 1 gold horse armor, 2 iron ingot and 7 gold ingot). Use a command block to run this command:
/summon EntityHorse ~ ~1 ~ {ArmorItems:[{Count:3,id:redstone}, {Count:1,id:golden_horse_armor}, {Count:2,id:iron_ingot}, {Count:7,id:gold_ingot}], ArmorDropChances:[1.0f,1.0f,1.0f,1.0f]}
To give the closest player a horse spawn egg in Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.10:
/give @p spawn_egg 1 0 {EntityTag:{id:EntityHorse}}
Target Selectors
Before we finish discussing data tags, let's quickly explore how to use the @e target selector. The @e target selector allows you to target entities in your commands. If you use the type=EntityHorse value, you can target horses:
@e[type=EntityHorse]
You can also add a radius value to target horses within a certain radius of blocks (for example, r=5 lets you target horses within a 5 block radius of where the command is run):
@e[type=EntityHorse,r=5]
Target Selector Examples
To change all horses to baby horses within a 5 block radius:
/entitydata @e[type=EntityHorse,r=5] {Age:-25000}
To test for all horses within a 50 block radius:
/testfor @e[type=EntityHorse,r=50]
To summon a lightning bolt at all horses:
/execute @e[type=EntityHorse] ~ ~ ~ /summon LightningBolt
To kill all horses:
/kill @e[type=EntityHorse]
