I am not disagreeing with you - but would it not be just as likely that if the horse was not a viable choice, humans would domesticate some other animal - cow, deer, etc.
There was a girl in my country that taught her cow to jump like a hores, because she wouldn’t get a hores. So give it some time and dedication we could probably beed up some really nice battel cows.

Imagine warriors come riding on a friggin’ elk!
