No. Horses have tiny legs relative to their body size. Do you ever see horses galloping down highways? Also, horses eat grass. Do you ever see hard soil growing grass? Hungry horses with broken legs do not fare well in our society. So if you value your horse buddies, keep them off hard soil. They will bless you for this decision.
