from the Journal of Eastern Mediterranean Archaeology and Heritage Studies (2026) comes this article:
On Stallions and Mares: Gendering of War Horses used in Ancient Egypt. by Uros Matic & Loneke Delpeut. - so perhaps you may find this approach to horse history of interest
Article is nicely illustrated too.
