Its body was small, bold; without the hair on its neck, with a small face and it had a small thin foot of 4 small limbs. 10 million years later, the horse was evolved to Mesohippus, its body became bigger with taller legs, taller tail, hair started to appear on its neck and its hoofs was decreased to 3.
