Starry is most commonly known as a reference to famous painting by Vincent Van Gogh called Starry Night. Black horses are a symbol of death. Riding a starry black horse would mean that after her death, mother is no longer on earth, roaming around in the heavens. The image speaks to a vague belief in an afterlife, but not necessarily a positive one.

In the context it sounds like a poetic metaphor, no literal meaning.

@gadgeteer Yes maybe, I think the idea is that their Mum is now among the stars.
