Wasn't there some bug regarding that once an animal has tasted dwarven blood, it can't be stopped even if tamed except by killing?

That's exactly what's happened here: that horse killed a dwarf, and in doing so it became an enemy of the fortress (and possibly the entire civilization) - that's actually why it got a name. Unfortunately, there's nothing that prevents a creature from being both an enemy of a civilization and tame, so that combination tends to confuse things a bit - a similar thing will happen if you try to tame a creature that was used as a mount during an enemy siege.

I'm not sure if you can mark such a creature as available for adoption - if you could, however, and it was adopted by a dwarf, it might lead to a loyalty cascade if you were to then send your military after it...

Feed a wild horse dwarven blood, and it will become a monster. Feed a wild horse the blood of a dwarven baby, and it will become A LEGEND.

I thought everybody knew this ..

I once had a small 3x3 pit full of wild horses. They just kept breeding until the pit was full of horses. Too bad it wasn't Donkies, then I'd have something to joke about. "Urist cancels store item in stockpile: Interrupted by ass-hole"

Okay, update:

Not only has Ramadabsam survived the horrors of the cavern, he has lived to uncover several creatures I had not initially seen: a family of Blind Cave Ogres, a Giant Cave Spider (!!!), and something called "Gorlak." I'm almost tempted to write a ballad about this whole ordeal...
