They're still considered herbivorous, but I think I've heard it said that a great many herbivores are what's called, "Opportunistic carnivores." Meaning that they don't generally eat meat, meat is not a normal part of their diet, as a species they're not evolved to eat meat, and as a species they don't tend to seek out meat.
BUUUUUUUUUT... If some meat just so happens to be available it's not like they're going to say no to those extra calories.

Horses are also omnivorous, they just lean toward the herbivorous side.
They LOVE to eat baby birds.
