The Spanish were the first to bring domesticated horses into the United States. What is unbelievable, archaeologists found evidence that horses began in North America (called prehistoric horses) and crossed into Asia over the Bering Sea land bridge 2 to 3 millions of years ago. Eventually, they wound up in Europe. They eventually died out in North America about 11, 000- 13,000 years ago.
