That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The correct answer is "Asia". Horse domestication is widely believed to have originated in the steppes of Central Asia, particularly in regions that are now part of Ukraine, southwest Russia, and west Kazakhstan. Archaeological evidence suggests that horses were first domesticated for riding and, eventually, for agricultural and transportation uses, significantly impacting human societies around the world.
