As a joke, maybe? Elmer's glue though was never made from horses though. The original glue all formula was made though with casein derived from cow milk, which would make sense as the company that originally made Elmer's glue was also in the dairy industry.

I did not know that actually... But then i wonder why that brand of Glue is always used for these Jokes

Glue was made using parts of slaughtered horses (and other animals) for a long time in the past, and even if that was being phased out by the time Elmer's entered the scene, Elmer's is the most well-known brand of glue today by far, so any joke involving glue is likely to use Elmer's by default because awareness of glue brands outside of or especially pre-dating Elmer's is practically nil.
Honestly, if the word "glue" wasn't so easy to say, Elmer's would have probably gone the way of "Kleenex" or "Tupperware" and become the word everyone used for the product regardless of who made it.

So in other words for the same reason that every game console is a Nintendo according to Grandma circa 199x, then.
