As all organisms adapt. You have a population of organisms in which all vary to some degree or another and an immediate environment in which some variants do better than others in surviving and reproducing. The horse variants that had longer legs and better hooves plus teeth better at chewing the food needed in the immediate environment, the plains of grass, survived and reproduced better. They had progeny that bore these superior traits and also were variants that were selected on their abilities to survive and reproduce better in the immediate environment, thus becoming better adapted to that environment.

Can a horse survive in a temperate forest?

really it depends where this forest is and what the temperature is, like a Suffolk punch can survive the snow, probably in the Himalayas region, and yet the Prezwalksi's Horse can survive in the wild in barren places and mountains. yet, the thoughbred, that horse has to have warm temperatures like here in new zealand and coats for the winter. they love rich grass. basically, for the best answer you need to specify what type of horse and what kind of forest temp you mean. really it depends where this forest is and what the temperature is, like a Suffolk punch can survive the snow, probably in the Himalayas region, and yet the Prezwalksi's Horse can survive in the wild in barren places and mountains. yet, the thoughbred, that horse has to have warm temperatures like here in new zealand and coats for the winter. they love rich grass. basically, for the best answer you need to specify what type of horse and what kind of forest temp you mean.
