answer yes
People rode horses long before there was metal armor.
The invention of the wheel - meant our ancestors no longer needed to transport everything by hand - or beast. This led to inventing things like wagons, to be drawn by horses etc.
Wagons drawn by horses or other beasts of burden.
Before the introduction of horses to the new world, llamas and alpacas were used to transport goods.
Before cars horses were used to pull carriages and as transport and before the first world war horses were used in battle. Horses used to be used in carrying machinery, pack horses and carrying other stuff. Also ploughing, hunting etc.
The horse was used for many, many centuries before the advent of steam power which in turn was relaced by the internal combustion engine.
They used horses for transport.
In some cases at least, horses or ponies hauled chains, ropes or cables attached to canal boats and walked along towpaths beside these waterways.
Before automobiles people used horses and buggies or just horses to get around. Also, they would ride bicicles or just walk to get around.
I think they were introduced before the steam engine.
