It is simply the nature of the individual species of animal. I am speaking here of "average"

lifespan for that particular animal. For a horse, it is 22-25 years. For an elephant, about 60 years. For a dog, 12-14 years.

ASK anatomy of cattle and horses are they the same?

No, Please click at the related links (Skeleton Cow - Skeleton Horse) first. As you can see the skeleton of a horse is pushed "up". The neck of a horse is build to have its head moving around, while the neck of a cow is build just 2 support. The horse also has more ribs 2 protect its body. While the cow has horns to protect itself. The horse carries more on its backlegs and the cow more on its frontlegs. You can see that by looking at the beginning of the talebone and the hips. Also the cow has a longer talebone. So the cow can move its tale better. The horse doesn't need 2 as the horse has long hairs that sweep all around him/her. The horse is build for speed to protect him/her. While the cow protects itself with a heavy armour. That's why the horse is build smaller and higher. And the cow low to the ground.

Yes. Cows have more of a heavier, plodding gait than a typical horse would. A horse, on the other hand, has more of a smoother, flowing or jilting gait than a cow would, that can easily go into a lope, a trot or a gallop.
