How come horses were so common all over the world in the past

1.37K views

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 ?

Same goes for the Americas. Horses were brought by European settlers. The natives bought/traded for em because they were useful.

Horses are strong, and fast. Easy to feed. Have good stamina. They’re good for farming, war, or just traveling from place to place with a wagon.

Tldr: They’re everywhere because we put them everywhere. We put them everywhere because they help us in most circumstances
