It isn't as if Europeans had the fortitude to domesticate killer horses and Africans were too lazy to do the same with zebras. They were simply given two different types of animal to work with.

Though there's an interesting theory about how animal domestication is linked to technological progress. One proposed theory for why indigenous American tribes never progressed much was because cattle weren't native to the Americas.

If cattle were found in the Americas they would have been more effectively used for work instead of just food and various inventions would have naturally been implemented as a result.
