Different lineages have evolved different breeding strategies. Invertebrates and fish lay a lot of eggs, of which a number will survive to breed; mammals like horses and humans on the other hand produce only few young, but invest so much energy in raising them that each of them is much more likely to survive to breeding age. They're both equally 'valid' strategies, just different.
