That would mean europe didnt have horses until they discovered america and brought them over. Did they ride donkeys instead?

Did american horses evolve parallel to the horses overseas? I wonder how similar they were

An ancient ancestor of the horse used to live in North America, but they went extinct like thousands of years ago. Modern horses were brought by Europeans to NA. Its a myth that the native Americans always had horses. They didn't get them til European horses showed up and some escaped to be wild and then later be retrained by native americans

Didn't horses exist all over the globe, go extinct in the americas, then get reintroduced when European settlers used them for trade or lost them?

Yep. TC has it backwards. Horses lived all over Africa, Asia and Europe since prehistoric times.

Horses native to North America died out thousands of years ago. The ones typical from westerns are all descendants of horses brought from Europe.

Horses and camelids evolved first in what is now North and South America and migrated over to rest of the world and then went extinct in the Americas sans the Llama, Alpaca, Vicuna, and Guanaco.

I think horses originated in North America. The ones in the Old World are descended from a group that crossed the Bering land bridge in the Ice Age. Then they went extinct in the Americas. Then Eurasians started riding them and bred them and Europeans would eventually bring them back to North America. Full circle.

Pablo Escobar smuggled hippos to Columbia because he wanted some at his home.
After his death, they escaped and are now roaming wild, causing trouble.

A zebra is not a horse though. They will a person who attempts to ride them. It's the main reason why Africa south of the Sahara trailed behind other parts of the world.

If you can't domesticate the animals to carry you farther, you go only where you can reach on foot.

They come from middle earth, which is when the world was one continent. Gandalf made sure that once the continents formed each one got a horsey. NA got the dwarven horses
