on dirt, their weight cause erosion. On pavement, they can injure their hooves

These problems would equally apply to the 'electric horse', would they not?

    In the same way that torque/current-limited ebikes will cause less soil erosion in national parks -- case in point, Tahoe National Forest in California now explicitly permits Class 1 ebikes on trails, once they had enough data to support that assertion -- I would expect that an electric horse could also be tuned to limit its acceleration on tricky surfaces.
