It's still not close
>Where are you getting that from? Does that go for all tribes? They were hunting bison long before horses were introduced.
Yes, but the environment for enormous, grazing herds was in fact (inadvertently) created by human agriculture in the region. Combined with horses, it just suddenly become a lot more attractive to just revert to hunter-gatherer society
>the same happen in Europe or elsewhere? They had horses so why didn't they just stay nomadic horseback hunters?
... Hunting what big game, exactly? We don't have a similar food source
Again, people don't want to live in an agricultural society, if it can be avoided. Civilisation is just an accident. It requires the depletion of some food resource pushing humans towards agriculture as an alternative, then requires the sort of density where irrigation is explored, which then leads to the possibility for an elite to emerge by having created a "chokepoint" where a handful of people - through violence - can control the means for survival for a large group of people, which then leads towards nascent statehood
