Actually, the horse in Ice Age was no bigger than a dog. Called the “Eohippus” or the “Dawn Horse.” The Dawn of the Ice Age.” They were so little, they ate grass instead of hay. But as their legs grew longer, to enable them to see when in deep brush or weeds, in time could reach higher plains and developed legs and height to make it.

I live in a place where wild mustang herds are all around me. I feel privileged to be among them daily. I learned from my trainer that horses hooves naturally chip off. And when left in the wild their hooves return to the perfect shape. I thought that was cool to know.

I totally agree. Why hurt these amazing animals! They are probably much smarter than many of us, humain. Their only crime is that they don’t speak our language and we are not smart enough to decode theirs

In reply to Lily. Way to go Lily! So refreshed to hear someone speak up against "educated" know it alls who know nothing. Why is it that some small minded people would rather look for "mistakes" than join in a forum concerning the welfare of horses.

In reply to Zoe. Try just watching horses in a field when there's a herd. It's really helpful. :grin:

In reply to Abbi. Actually, as Christine Dorothy Elton says below, horses were in America first when all the continents were connected then after they separated horses became extinct in America. The Spanish REintroduced horses. They originated in America. Before you say someone is wrong, do you research.

But how many of us actually go and spend days observing the wild horses?

Actually from what I have read about the history of horses, they originated in North America then migrated to Asia,Europe & Africa across the Bering Straits land bridge when they were very small before the iceage.
