what country or countries did James cook sail for.
James Cook was not one of the first settlers in Australia. He died nine years before the First Fleet came to Australia.
No. James Cook had no horses aboard the Endeavour. The first horses were brought to Australia with the First Fleet in 1778, 18 years after Cook explored the eastern seaboard.
James Cook, who was not even a captain when he charted Australia's eastern coast, was given the credit (incorrectly) for discovering Australia because it was upon his recommendation that Australia was actually settled by the British. Cook charted the eastern coast of Australia, and he was the one who claimed it in the name of Great Britain in 1770, calling it New South Wales. He charted the east coast between April and August of that year. For these reasons, Cook is often wrongly credited with discovering Australia. There were several Dutch and French explorers who landed on Australia's shores long before Cook even set sail, and Cook was not even the first Englishman to sight Australia, with that honour going to William Dampier. The Dutch did not make any formal claim to the continent, and the French claim was not substantiated. Because Australia had been settled by the British, and there was a continuing loyalty to the British, for years Australian schoolchildren were taught that Captain Cook discovered Australia.
Lieutenant (later Captain) James Cook reached the eastern coast of Australia in April 1770. He first sighted and named Point Hicks on the southeastern coast, and gradually moved northwards.

James Cook did not actually leave for Australia: his first mission was to observe the transit of Venus from Tahiti. He was then to sail west and report on any new lands he came across. It was on this journey that he came across the east coast of Australia. On this, James Cook's first voyage, he departed England in August 1768.
Captain James Cook did not travel on the First Fleet, which was a fleet transporting convicts to Australia in 1788. He set sail from England in 1768 on an expeditionary voyage, making his first landfall in Botany Bay, Australia in 1770.
