For humans, dietary cholesterol is for most people not the problem. It is
saturated fats and certain other components that are the problem. Having
corrected that statement, corn oil is low in saturated fats, the overall
diet of fat in horses even with added corn oil would be considered a very
low fat diet for humans, and horses are not noted for dying of heart
attacks - colic is "the horse disease". So the conclusion is probably
correct.
