As beasts of burden, forget it
The horse is ten times more dangerous than the automobile, not to mention the problem with manure. Environmentalists will tell you that cows are the bane of the planet's exitstence, they pour methane into the atmosphere, and pollute the water supply. Of course we aren't going to eat those horses, (hah!), but as mass transportation they give all these problems new meaning. The horse belongs at the racetrack, period. (Unlike Nascar people do not go to the horse races to watch the horses crash.)
Horses do put us in touch with our humanity, that's a given, but as beast of burden forget it. Camels as horses, never happen.
