    The first species of horse were called Eohipppus (ee-oh-hip-uhs), meaning “dawn horse”. These first horses roamed North America during the Eocene (ee-uh-seen) Epoch. Nearly whole skeletons were found in Wyoming in 1867. Evidence of the Eohippus was also found in the 1930s in Europe. The modern horse Equus (eck- wuss) evolved from the Pliohippus during the Pliocene (plahy-uh-seen) Epoch. The Pliocene Epoch ended 11,700 years ago (AMNH, 2012). There were at least 15 species, each evolving into the next. There were many changes during the evolution. One of the changes is the size of the horse. The first horse was the size of a dog at about 15-inches tall, or 3.3H (Hands). The average modern horse today stands about 63-inches tall, or 15.3H. With the change in land mass from wet forest to dryer steppes the horses’ four toes on the forelegs and three toes on the hind legs turned to one toe (or hoof). Each of these toes had a small hoof with padding between them. Having hooves gave the horse more durability and speed to run from its’ predators. The changes in their natural environment required a change in diet from foliage to grasses, which caused the horses’ teeth to change from small flat teeth…

    Some public opinions that people have on the definition of horses are, that they are just animals that are used for riding or they are used for racing. In a few ways these opinions are true but the real definitions are in Webster’s dictionary and in Scientific definitions. The Scientific definition of a horse is, “a large, solid-hoofed, herbivorous quadruped, (Equus caballus),domesticated since prehistoric times, bred in a number of varieties, and used for carrying or pulling loads, for riding, and for racing.” Webster’s dictionary definition is, “something on which a person rides, sits, or exercises, as if astride the back of such an animal.”…

    In the article “Evolution, Consequences, and Future of Plant and Animal Domestication” by Jared Diamond he concludes that for an animal to be successfully be domesticated it needs to have six of these characteristics; A diet that can be supplied easily and relatively cheaply by humans, a relatively fast growth rate with a short gestation period, a good temperament, easily bred in captivity, a social structure based on a hierarchy, calm behavior making them less likely to panic in unfamiliar situations.
