So, horses. It is eminently possible horses were ridden in 2500 BC. What we lack is concrete evidence either pictographically or textually that horses were ridden until roughly half a millenium later. There has been some archaeological evidence from as early as 3000 BC that horses may have been ridden then (eg bits and such) but nothing that is solid proof.

But, as history errors go, having ridable horses in 2500 BC has plenty of wiggle room. It’s hard to make definitive statements like this in ancient history (especially 2500 BC ancient) because it’s a based on lack of concrete evidence, not a lack of any evidence.
