I thought that was overturned?  On the grounds that some period depictions of 
unicorns were essentially horned horses, and that we have to clear conflict on 
all acceptable emblazons.  
http://www.millersv.edu/~english/homepage/duncan/medfem/unicorn.html  includes 
some typical representations of unicorns in tapestries, very similar to horse 
depictions of the time.
