The predecessor of the domestic horse migrated over the land bridge into Eurasia and was hunted into extinction in North America. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestication_of_the_horse

My guess is that learning how to store food for winter and droughts was major in domesticating horses. The other step seems to be taming a stallion that could be managed. Before this event of taming a stallion herders most likely took their mares to wild stallions for breeding.
