I think horses are designed to complement Minecraft Realms and other multi-player servers. If you want giant worlds full of people, you need a way to travel more quickly, with greater freedom & durability than minecart tracks. Right now exploring in Minecraft just turns up more terrain, but imagine if you could have something like a MMORPG, full of people. In such a world, horses will be a nice addition to let people roam. So I think this is a strategic addition for Mojang, with no coincidence they're building it now at the same time as Realms.
Not that this helps you in Hardcore mode, but one way to get items back from The End without killing the dragon is to bring an ender chest. You can fill it with stuff like moon rock, die, and have those materials in the normal world.
An Ender Chest is also a nice way to bring extra supplies for your fight. You can build one in the normal world, fill it will potions or whatever, and then bring another one with you to The End.
