Modern horses are NOT native to the Americas. Spanish Conquistadors accidentally introduced horses to the American Southwest as they searched for "El Dorado." Some of their horses got loose, and those are the ancestors of the modern "Mustang."
Other breeds were brought from Europe by settlers.

The Spanish conquistadors brought them over when they came to Mexico & South America. They took them north when they conquered what is now the southwest of the U.S.

On boats by colonists when the country was first developed.

They were smuggled in the suitcases of traveling minstrel dwarves from Romania. I'm pretty sure anyway.
