     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.

Domestication of the horse
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestication_of_the_horse
"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?

A matter of nuance; 4000 BC for horse domestication is much
less controversial than it used to be.
