Answer: Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) swears by the galloping horses, which gallop with their riders when needed, such as in the case of fighting in the cause of Allah and raids.
So the meaning of "breathing heavily": That is, their sounds when they gallop.
So "the ones that spark [fire] with their hooves": That is, they spark stones with their hooves when they charge.
So "the ones that charge in the morning": It is the horses as well.
