Best Answer

The small, many toed ancestor of the horse lived in forests and had a different diet and lifestyle. As the forest disappeared in that area the horse began to develop hooves, long legs and different teeth to deal with the grassy plains by means of variations in horses being selected against the immediate environment; grassy plains full of silicates in the grass and predators that ran their prey down.
