I got Minecraft on 360 about 6 weeks ago and now my question when horse r put in game on 360 will I have to make a new world or will they be spawned in my world w/o having to create new world?
We wont be getting horses for quite some time (I estimate 6 months at least) but to answer your question you probably won't need to start a new world. Horses are mobs (short for Mobile entities) and the way the game handles mobs is different from the way it handles other generated features, such as trees and ores.
Based on previous update history, as Deskeptcon said:
* Terrain based changes (biomes, ores, etc.) will only show up in unexplored portions of your current world. If you've explored your whole world, you'll need to start a new one to get the changes.
* Non-terrain changes (mobs, crafting, etc.) will be added to your world, no matter if it's explored or not. (Do not expect horses anytime soon.)
"Can anyone answer this with 100% certainly?"
No, we can't.

No, we can't.
Not with 100% certainty, but when ocelots were added, I had a fully explored map that got ocelots spawning in a plains biome that shifted to a jungle biome. Following that reasoning, you SHOULD be able to get horses in a fully explored world unless a biome shift gets rid of all of your plains biomes or something like that.
No one can... the update that brings you horses 'could' cause a Biome Shift to make your whole map 100% Ocean or Desert, or any mix thereof, where passive land MOB's will not spawn (depending on your seed).... OR.... the programmers "Could" if they really wanted too, make it a requirement to start a new world if they chose to. following Occam's Razor, that is extremely unlikely, but it 'could' be done arbitrarily.
Because there will always be at least some uncertainty, no one can make that 100% guarantee, unless they have already tested it out after they have been added.
It seems markedly highly likely that they will spawn naturally once added in a future update, but if you want a 100% guarantee, you're going to have to find a fool or a liar.
but what i do know is the xbox version of minecraft has a despawing and spawning rate so when they do add horse (most likely in 2015 or 2016 because then they have to add the pretty scary update features then the red-stone update then the horse update) but if you have the right spawning conditions you should be able to get a horses to spawn

i think we should all use common sense and logic when we answer and ask a question but always stay open minded
just cause science fails to explain something does not mean its real (afterlife,big foot, ghosts etc..) does not mean its fake try to stay opened mined instead of closed

Yes! Somebody with logic! And since update usually take around 5 months to make, they will come sometime next year. However, since they spawn in plains, I'm pretty sure that they will spawn in existing worlds. But nobody knows yet, so we"ll just have to guess
