People had to use horses to get around before because back about 100 years ago there wasn't any cars and because you can ride horses far distances people decided they were suitable as a form of transport and rode those instead of driving cars. And if you read something like half broke horses by jeannette walls you will find that the more cars came out the less and less horses were used.

How does horses get water?

There are actually quite a few different ways that horses get their water and a few different variables. I have horses and their out on pasture so we have water tanks for them that we keep full. If a horse is in a stable they would most likely have a bucket in their stall that was kept full at all times. There are also automatic waterers where a horse is trained to step of a pedal of sorts and it fills up a dish for them to drink out of. Wild horses on the other hand are going to drink out of lakes, ponds, creeks, rivers.. pretty much any water supply that they can get to. Its very important for horses to have access to water at all times.
