What changes occurred in the size of the horse from Hyracotherium to Equus? 5. Describe the overall changes in foot length, number of toes, and size of toes in the horse over time. that had them these horses would have had a greater chance of surviving that horses not adapted.
The scientific name of the domestic horse is Equus caballus.All horses and ponies of all colours and breeds (including draft horses, miniatures and Shetland ponies) are members of this species and therefore have the same scientific name.The only exception to this is the 'true' wild horse, Przewalski's horse. This horse is genetically distinct from the domestic horse (it even has a different number of chromosomes) and is known as Equus przewalski.All other 'wild' horses, such as brumbies, mustangs, Chincoteague ponies and the Sorraia, are feral populations of the domestic horse. They are Equus caballus.

http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/horses/horse_evol.htmlhere is your answer :)----------------------------------------------------------------------------*there is a better answer*-The first horse was called a Hyracotherium, or originally called Eohippus. it didn't look like the horse that we know today, it had 4 toes on each foot and it stood about 10 inches tall- the second horse was called either Mesohippus , just a bit larger than Eohippus, they had longer legs and 3 toes instead of 4-Merychippus (see Mesohippus).....gradually the Earth's dense, wet forests became firm, grassy plains, and to avoid extinction, the early horses had changed to.....-the next horse was Pliohippus, it had large, flat grinding teeth for feeding on grass, and longer, stronger legs supported by hooves.- then came the last horse that we all know today, Equus caballus! by the end of the ice age, millions of wild horses that we could now recognize today, roamed Europe and Asia.-
The term "charger" can refer to different things depending on the context. If you are referring to a horse breed known for its speed and stamina, you might be thinking of the "Thoroughbred," scientifically named Equus ferus caballus. If you meant a device for charging batteries, it does not have a scientific name as it is an object rather than a species. Please clarify if you meant something else!

As Hyracotherium evolved into Equus over millions of years, the surroundings of the species changed from forested environments to open grasslands. This shift in habitat likely influenced the evolution of Equus's longer legs, stronger teeth for grazing on grass, and improved running ability to escape predators in more open spaces. Additionally, Equus adapted to changes in climate and food availability as it evolved, leading to its success as a modern-day horse.
The enviroment changed greatly over the evolutionary period of the horse. During Hyracotheriums time it was a small fox or dog sized creature that lived in marshy forests and browsed on leaves and shrubs. The enviroment changed from marshy forests to open grasslands, this caused the evolution of the horse into a taller, longer legged, larger bodied grazer we know today.
