I recently watched a documentary about a brief history of each continent when I noticed horses were really common everywhere for an example Genghis khan in Asia, Saladin in Africa, natives in North and South America and all over Europe too. I know they’ve been brought with settlers to Australia because it was mentioned in the documentary but what about the other continents ?

I did some local history research and the amount of cart horses and farm horses was very high years ago, literally dozens of them even in small villages. The amount of horse shit was a real public health problem too. Just think everything was pulled around by horses were now we have vans and lorries. Thousands and thousands of horses were needed so they were bred in large numbers and as soon as motor vehicles took over they stopped breeding them. Some of the breeds of heavy horse are actually endangered now. It was the same with riding horses too.
