Best Answer

Horses were first brought over by Spain. Many of the people thought that the riders on the horse were gods. The horses could run at extremly fast paces which would cut back the time of getting someplace. They also could till the fields easier than a human by hand. People with horses were thought of as the "upper classmen". Only few people had horses because of the expenses.

During the Civil War, some of the soldiers and almost all of the Generals were on horseback because when the soldiers on the ground ran forward to attack, the calvery would go around the battle to the back. Then, they would have the enemy surrounded with no place to go.

By the time of white settlement of the American West, the horses were well established. The new settlers simply assumed that horses had always been there.
