Native American Indians also make the claim that their ancestors rode horses long before columbus. However that’s only in North america. In meso America and south america there is evidence of horses but it goes way back like 12000 years ago. There’s no evidence that they existed in those areas just prior to columbus. It’s sad this myth just keeps going around despite research that proves it’s bunk.

Horses may have originated on the American continent but died out approximately 11,000 years ago according to real authorities on the subject that actually use factual information to make their determinations. You have no evidence to support horses during the time period indicated in the Book of Mormon. And the archeological record supports this concept.
