I'm sure this was mostly a product of the limitations of the game, but if you want it retconned I think Seraph did a pretty damn good job.

They might not have our kind of horses, or might not have them widely domesticated, or they might not have invented horseshoes, saddles, stirrups, or proper feed. Or, being rather insular people in a relatively small world, they may simply have found no need for them. Or the supply of horses and/or trained riders may have been wiped out by the Fallen.
