Best Answer

The Hopewell culture flourished from around 300 BC to about 700 AD; horses were re-introduced to the Americas by the Spanish after 1492 AD, so there were no horses in North America at the time of the Hopewell people.

Before the English colonist came, probably not. However horses were at least present, and records show that well connected and leaders among the Powhatan were sometimes given horses as gifts.

By the time the English had arrived the Spanish had introduced horses all over North and South America. They had a permanent settlement in Florida and tried to start a mission in Virginia.

However, the land in coastal Virginia is crisscrossed by swamps and rivers which makes horses impractical compared to boats. It is possible that before the English came they did experiment with horses. Horses just aren't as good as boats in the tidewater region where the Powhatan lived.
