    The horse is an odd-toed ungulate that has evolved over 45-55 million years from a small multi-toed ancestor into today's large single-toed animal. Humans began domesticating horses around 4000 BC and domestication was widespread by 3000 BC, though some domesticated horses now live as feral populations. True wild horses are non-domesticated, such as the endangered Przewalski's horse, which is a separate subspecies.

    The horse (Equus ferus caballus)[2][3] is one of two extant subspecies of Equus ferus.

    It is an odd-
    toed ungulate mammal belonging to the taxonomic family Equidae. The horse has evolved over the
    past 45 to 55 million years from a small multi-toed creature, Eohippus, into the large, single-toed
    animal of today. Humans began to domesticate horses around 4000 BC, and their domestication is
    believed to have been widespread by 3000 BC. Horses in the subspecies caballus are
    domesticated, although some domesticated populations live in the wild as feral horses. These feral
    populations are not true wild horses, as this term is used to describe horses that have never been
    domesticated, such as the endangered Przewalski's horse, a separate subspecies, and the only
    remaining true wild horse. There is an extensive, specialized vocabulary used to describe equine-
    related concepts, covering everything from anatomy to life stages,
    size, colors, markings, breeds, locomotion, and behavior.
