It is true that, when Wargs and Orcs make alliances, the Wargs will carry the Orcs to battle for the purposes of haste. But Wargs are not horses. And the comparison is a deep insult.

Could horses move the very lands and the oceans? Could horses master every tongue in Arda? Could horses defeat a team of Elves on University Challenge? I think not.

Wargs are not pawns to the Orc (they are not even pawns to the Duck, Samwise). Yet that is how they have been presented.
Well, we both know Orcs are down-right dirty liars. In my opinion, it is most likely that the orcs allowed this lie to penetrate deep into everything Warg, which has now tainted the minds of so many with the deception that Wargs are inferior. The only way to cleanse this is through many, many seminars on "Wargs: The Glorious Truth".
