No, they didn't come from Mexico. They came from the Middle East. The first breed of horses were Arabians, found in Arabia, not Mexico. Horses didn't arrive in the Americas until the spanish conquistodors accidentally let some go.

AnswerThe horse's origin prior to domestication (and not as regards fossil records) is a topic still debated. The "Four Foundations Theory" suggests the horse come out of northern Europe or northern/western Asia. (Neither Mexico nor the Middle East enters into the argument.) The earliest records thus far found indicate the horse was first domesticated in Central Asia some 4500 years B.C. Certainly archaeological remains of chariots have been found in the Ural Mountains of Asia that date back 2,000 years.
