Lol.
Jokes aside, it always felt odd to me that the trojans would just bring in some horse left there by the enemy. Wouldn't that feel a bit suss?
The version I heard was that it was styled as a tribute to Poseidon (who was God of both horses, and the sea) that the Greeks gave, in hopes of a safe voyage home. The Trojans wouldn't want to piss off a God by disrespecting an offering to him.
