Wikipedia says it was named for both although Ford credits the guy who liked the planes as the person who came up with the name.
One of the people who suggested the name apparently liked the planes, but someone in marketing also suggested the name because he liked the horses. I assume the latter is how it got it’s badges.

They could have kept going with that. A Ford Avenger or Ford Spitfire would be pretty neat.
Ford Hurricane? Ford Tomcat.
Oh wait, they do have the Ford Raptor.

Well the horse is clearly easier to market and makes a cool logo.
