Default Suppose Horses (or Zebras) Never Existed

Wouldn't that have been a disaster for the human race? Believe it or not this thought popped into my head when I was thinking about BASEBALL. And how the old time greats used trains to get from town to town but still used horses for shorter distances. How long would it have taken us to progess from 10,000 BC to 1900, if there weren't horses available? Clearly a lot more than 12,000 years. What's your guess? Mine is somewhere between 50,000 to never.

Or am I missing something? Would we have found some other animal? Or created one. Camels and elephants are somewhat useful. Would we have figured out a way back then to get them to do for us what horses did?

If horses were truly as indispensible as I think, is that evidence for God?
