I agree its kind of silly. The justification is generally her class is defined by her Noble Phantasm lance, Rygo, which is ungodly-powerful in canon and so that defines her class. Her horse, meanwhile, isn't all that special.

Similarly Francis Drake fights with a Gun but she's not summoned as an archer, she's summoned as a Rider because her NP is the Golden Wild Hunt. She's famous as a sailor, not for her gunplay. Emya is summoned as an Archer even though he prefers melee combat because Unlimited Blade Works is a stupidly powerful ranged attack. Etc.
