Although there are controversial claims
for horse domestication as early as 4500
BC, even by 3000 BC there is no direct
evidence. The earliest undisputed date is
c. 2000 BC, with the chariot burials of
the Sintashta-Petrovka culture on the
Ural steppe.

"However, an increasing amount of evidence supports the
hypothesis that horses were domesticated in the Eurasian
steppes (evidently centered in Ukraine) at approximately
4000 BC.[1]"

What is your point?
