Yes they did.Many historians believe that most of the development of horses began in North America. Scientists believe that the first horses (called Pliohippus) to evolve in North America appeared about 6 million years ago. For some unknown reason, horses (Equus) disappeared from the western hemisphere and were re-introduced by spanish explorers (after Columbus) in the sixteenth century.
Although many negative things can be said about Christopher Columbus, it was his imagination and courage that by accident led Europeans into the Western Hemisphere. Whether Erick the Red " discovered" the New World first does not really matter as his voyages did little to have Europeans colonize the "New World".
The first permanent settlement in the Western Hemisphere was started by the Spanish. In 1565, they established the city of St. Augustine in northeastern Florida and it's still thriving today.
Christopher Columbus is famous for his voyages across the Atlantic Ocean in the late 15th century. His most notable achievement was his first voyage in 1492, during which he reached the Americas, opening up the New World to European exploration and colonization. Columbus' expeditions had a significant impact on world history, leading to the eventual establishment of European colonies in the Americas and the Columbian Exchange, which facilitated the exchange of goods, ideas, and cultures between the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
