Horses were originally hunted as food before they were domesticated, when people discovered the benefits of using these animals as to travel, and farm they were domesticated and became the horses we see today. They were originally ridden as they could travel larger distances faster than humans on foot, they ploughed fields, were used in wars to carry knights, pull equipment, carry soldiers, pull carriages... there uses are endless however with the development of mechanical engines the horse is now used for pleasure rather than work.
