No. Zebras don't have a herd hierarchy we can exploit. With horses you pick out the lead horse, tame it and boom, the whole herd follows you.
With zebras you get one zebra, if you're very lucky. More likely you'll get kicked and bitten.

Like African wild cats! You'd just get some hell monster that doesn't do what it's told and attacks you at random.

Isn't that basically all cats

Yes, but we never needed to tell cats what to do, we just needed them to stick around and do what they do naturally : catch mice

Nature is just going to nature sometimes.
