Most cattle Breeds were introduced from foreign Countries. South Devons were introduced Australia as a breed preference due to the the fact they are a Dual Purpose breed ( Milk and Meat).

The oldest breed of horse is actually "the Arabian horse". almost every breed came from the Arabian(Arab). you name a breed and it most likely decended from tht Arab eg; Thouroughbred, tersk, shire, Morgan....

The answer above is incorrect. The oldest horse is the Mongolian Wild Horse.

Ah, friendly debate. I have no choice but to join in.

First of all, just because the Arab was used in a lot of breeding, that does not make it the oldest horse. The Arab was chosen for its power, beauty, spirit, and popularity, not because it was the only horse around. Had that been true, all horses today would be pure Arabs. The wild horse makes more sense, as wild horses evolve much faster than regular horses to survive their surroundings. Also, the Mongolian Wild Horse looks very similar to Eohippus and the first Equus. Therefore, not all horses look like a Mongolian Wild Horse now, even though it is the oldest.

Yes, whoever wrote what is above me is correct. The Arabian is not the oldest breed of horse, although that is the popular answer. I wasn't positive what the oldest breed actually was, but I believe that the Mongolian is correct.

-It is not the most oldest breed of horse, but the przewalski is the only true wild horse left.
