Best Answer

The last horse-based cavalry units were used in combat during WW2, on the Bataan Peninsula, in January 1942 against the Japanese.

That didn't end the use of horses altogether, though - special operations units in Afghanistan which work with local militias are currently using horses in Afghanistan.
