North America didn't originally have horses. When they were brought in, the Apache, more than any other indigenous group, structured their entire way of life around them. At least, that's what I learned from Western movies.

Interesting. I knew about the horses being non-native. But the Apache part not.

Is there something that made them more likely to benefit from being a horse-culture?

Living on Steppes and Plains?

We have reached the limits of what I know on the subject. So, no idea. If forced to make an uneducated guess, I'd say it was probably some combination of environmental factors, a preexisting culture that fit particularly well with horses, and natural variation in adoption of new tech among different groups of people.

Horses are native to the americas. They evolved there and spreaded to asia but went extinct in america around the end of the ice age.

They were too tasty for their own good.
