The horse (Equus caballus) is not native to Africa. However, there are several breeds of horses originating from Africa--including the Barb--and a rare feral horse "breed" known as the Namib Desert Horse. Many of the horses that are found in Africa and live in Africa live as domesticated animals, often used for draft, riding, racing, stock, and pleasure-riding.
Many of the horse's close (yet distant) relatives that belong to the genus Equus are native to Africa, and those would be the zebra (Mountain zebra [Equus zebra], Grevy's zebra [Equus grevyi], and the plains zebra [Equus quagga]) and the African Wild Ass (Equus africanus; comprising of two subspecies: Somali wild ass [Equus africanus somaliensis] and the Nubian wild ass [Equus africanus africanus]).
