You are referring to the Centaur. In Ancient Greek they were called Kentauroi
A Centaur is a creature in Greek mythology. It has the upper body of a human, but below the waist it has the body of a horse. Centaurs are very strong and are good at astronomy and divination (predicting the future). Famous centaurs are Cheiron and Nessos.
Some legends say that the centaur had both a horse and a man's stomach, meaning they had to eat two different meals in order to satisfy both.
The centaurs were usually said to have been born of Ixion and Nephele (the cloud made in the image of Hera). Another version, however, makes them children of a certain Centaurus, who mated with the Magnesian mares. This Centaurus was either the son of Ixion and Nephele (instead of the Centaurs) or of Apollo and Stilbe, daughter of the river god Peneus. In the latter version of the story his twin brother was Lapithus, ancestor of the Lapiths, thus making the two warring peoples cousins.

It is called a centaur. If the upper half is human with the lower half horse and the horse section has all four horse legs, it is indeed a centaur. If it has the upper half of a human with the lower half of a horse but only 2 legs like a satyr it is a Sileni. There are also horse-headed men but I can not find the names for them.
