When was the horse domesticated?

Answer 1

There is no clear date when the horse was domesticated. Horses were used in Europe for centuries before they were introduced to the new world, and the native horses that went extinct in the New World were domesticated long before that.

Spaniards brought and reintroduced horses in the Americas in the fifteenth century. Some Native American tribes such as the Cheyenne and Lakota excelled at horsemanship, and integrated the horse into important roles within tribal cultures.

Answer 2

Horses were likely domesticated around 4000-3500 BC by the Botai culture in what is now Kazakhstan. This marked the beginning of the long history of humans using horses for transportation, agriculture, and warfare.

Answer 3

not all wild horses get trained -- but horses caught or bred are beginning training at 2 years old.
