Did horses pull catapults

Horses did not typically pull catapults; instead, catapults were usually operated by teams of soldiers who used mechanical means to launch projectiles. However, horses were commonly used to transport the catapults to the battlefield or move the heavy components. In some cases, larger siege engines might have been moved by teams of oxen or other draft animals due to their weight. Overall, while horses played a role in logistics, they were not directly involved in the operation of catapults.
