Is it because she looks like a horse?

It is a nickname for Felicity.

"She told Oprah Winfrey that when she was born, her mother named her "Flicka", but had to change it because it wasn't a Christian name. She still uses "Flicka" as a nickname. The name "Flicka" comes from the book and movie My Friend Flicka (1943), a childhood favorite. It means "girl" in Swedish."
I copied that from her bio. Her IMDb bio. Y'know, IMDb? The website you are on at this very moment, chsf (if you're reading this)??

Well, flicka means girl in Swedish. Probably a reason to associate it with a horse.

Flicka is a name/nickname her mom gave her. And she's beautiful. I don't see "horse" at all. Perfection, maybe, but not horse.
