But you can hear a horse neigh in the background.
So it means all of the horses are here, right?

All the horses are accounted for: we know the situation of each horse. They could be living and we know where they are, or they could be dead. But we know about each one. It is a standard military statement when meeting in formation: all men present or accounted for, sir!
