Lord Hayeegreva is an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Among all the four-leg animals horse is the only animal, which can identify colors. Due to this horses formed an important component of strength in wars in olden days. Power is always denoted in terms of Horse Power. Lord Sri Krishna in Geetha said that he is none other than uchaisravam i.e., the best horse (10th chapter -27th sloka). This horse has taken birth during the celestial churning of milky ocean. It is said in the puranas that Lord Bhrama performed 10 Ashwamedha Yaagams on the banks of river Ganges in Varanasi and even today the place is known by "Dasa Aa~wamedha Ghatasthali (location of 10 Ashwamedha Yaagams). Thus if we notice that Aswam i.e., horse - a special animal, considered to be another form of Lord Vishnu and people who seek special favors and society development and also peace, need to perform Ashwamedha Yaagam. Unlike in another Yaagams, particularly in Ashwamedha Yaagam Lords -Brahma, Vishnu, Maheswara are given equal offering in the homas. Many other Lords' are also given special offering which leads to easy appeasement to the gods and seek their blessings for quick and desired result.
