A lot of horses have been replaced here with trail bikes, Quad runners and hellechoppters.
The horses were mostly safer IMOH.

Actually it was the domestication of the cow and goat that allowed agricultural settlement and civilization. Horses gave us Atilla the Hun and the yurt to live in. You can't have a horse based culture and western civilization as a derrivative.
