There's only one Pegasus, it's the name of a specific winged horse, not a whole 'species'. She was Bellepheron's horse in Greek mythology (not he, common misconception).
A 'capricorn' is a goat, not a horse at all.
I think the answer, though, is that horses are extremely important to human beings, have a much closer relationship with humanity than hippos and can be found in almost every country. Humans make myths out of what's important to them.
I have a lot of exam revision on my hands. Procrastination sometimes finds a channel through YouTube. But since I already knew all that, it only took like a minute to write.

Hence a lot of mythological dogs as well.

1. thanks dear, and no worries about your bananalessness.
2. I've also apparently caught strep throat, so now I'm your half-blind-mute friend. hopefully both are temporary.
3. you would laugh if you saw me typing this too, because I'm using a magnifying glass.
