Morphology
The phrase is a simile comparing a man to a horse, so the parts ('hung' + 'like a horse') give a clue to a physical resemblance; however the specific vulgar meaning 'having a very large penis' is a culturally specific, slang extension not directly predictable from the literal words. A B1 learner might guess it refers to something hanging or size-related but would likely not reliably infer the sexual/vulgar sense without prior exposure.
Etymology
The saying hung like a horse comes from a simple image: horses are big animals, so saying a man is hung like a horse means people think he has a 'very large penis'.
