Actually the earliest people in the Americas did have horses available, but they used them as a source of food not as "beasts of burden", this hunting drove the American horses into extinction.

Without "beasts of burden" the people of the Americas used either dogs or had to carry loads themselves. In South America the llamas (relatives of camels) were domesticated as "beasts of burden".
