Gimli was obviously not in good terms with horses, his unwillingness to get on the Rhohirim horse clearly displays this.
Does anyone know if that was true to all dwarfs in middle earth?

I can't but help to think that dwarves would have found the use of big cart horses extremely useful when excavating the caves of Moria. Though dwarves are sturdy little things ( pardon the insult Gimli, he probably would want to fell my legs too ) shifting all that stone would have been done faster and more effectively by horses.
