Well, this question definitely depends on whether you believe that horses changed at all, which you probably do if you are asking this question!
This is a hard question to answer, because there is no hard proof on either sides of opinion.
Some people, like myself, believe that a God created everything just how it is now.
Others believe that everything has evolved from tiny cells that were on the earth millions of years ago.
So if there was an answer to your question, it would just be someone's own beliefs and opinion, and so there is not really any right or wrong answer for this question.

Does a horses horn have to be clipped from time to time?
Horses do not have horns (Unicorns are mythological creatures) are you thinking of cow horns (in which case no they do not have to be clipped), or perhaps horses hooves? If you are thinking of horses hooves, then the horn on these is the same as your fingernails and it grows slowly. In the natural state the horse will wear its hooves down by running but in domestication this may not happen and a farrier or blacksmith needs to come and file the hooves periodically. This is normally done when the horse is being fitted for new horseshoes. If the hooves are not kept filed (or worn down naturally) hey will grow to the point where the horse can no longer walk and this is very painful.
