You will have to vastly narrow down you’re question to get any real answer. The answer will be dramatically different depending on time period, location, culture etc.
Ancient Egyptian peasant? No horse. Roman pleb from 100AD? Still no horse. Mongolian in 1250? Weird if you don’t have a horse. Native American pre 1492? What’s a horse? American settler in 1820? You might have a horse.
Also are we counting Donkeys and Mules as horses? Horses are very good for getting around quickly but not the best working the fields pulling plows, etc. Farmers generally used Mules, Donkeys, Oxen.
