When the Cinderella's Horse questline expired an option came up to buy the reward for gems. After doing this the horse appeared in my inventory and I placed it. The game then did a strange reset, my gems were returned to me and the horse was gone. I went into quests and the option to buy the reward was available again, but again after placing the horse the game reset but now the option of buying the horse is no longer available.
