They actually have them in a lot of areas, @enjar. Mostly in cities, believe it or not. Washington, DC has them, as does NYC... it give them more height and visibility.
Plus they don't get caught in traffic, hence the added use of cops on bikes.

Exactly. Thanks dswigle for the excellent explanation! It IS a strange site in NYC but they still have a good sized force of mounted police there. And the people love the horses. I don't know what they do about the "stuff" the horses leave behind though!
