Most of the bigger mammals went instinct around that time the Mammoth, the north American Camel, the horses and many others, there is a few theories on why, changes in climate is the most agreed on, but the cause is heavily disputed, asteroids, volcanic eruptions, drought or early human hunting or a combination, personally I believe it was a asteroids as per Greenland ice core but that's me.I'll ask my geologist brother. Who knows for absoute certainty since new discoveries are made all the time. I did read about the extinction period, maybe due to the last ice age? Maybe some horses survived it?
History is interesting and dynamic. Who knows the accuracy of what life was like in 2024 in year 3000?
My Cherokee father in law told of things told to him verbally from his ancestors. Even in my lifetime (71) I've seen inaccuracies of some things.

This article is somewhat inline with what you are saying, although it doesn't changes or disagree on who brought the horse and on its earlier intinction.
