Yeah they're good in forests or mountains.
You don't need to chop down trees and leave marks where you go with them

horses work in areas vehicles can't access

Navigating backwater shitholes where everyone else rides horses. Locals tend to cut thin, razor-sharp switchbacks into terrain that effectively makes it impassable to all vehicles. Also useful in wet weather on steep terrain and scree.
