Best Answer

The Romans use horses for riding and racing. They also used them for the cavalry in battles and for messengers. They used them for racing because they were fast moving animals; the same reasoning applied to the military. Remember that the Romans did not use horses for pack animals or for harness work. Ox carts moved heavy equipment and goods, and mules were used as pack animals.
