“The Secret of the Veda” by Sri Aurobindo does an awesome job of unpacking the layered allegorical symbolism behind Ashwamedh.

I personally have no qualms even if they did - but the language simply makes more sense in the allegorical context that Sri Aurobindo suggests. The verses suggest expressions of spiritual inspiration. 

Later interpolations when the elasticity of the poetic language had become more rigid & emphasis shifted primarily to the ritualistic basis. Sri Aurobindo’s theory explains a lot of these contradictions satisfactorily.
