Horses evolved in Europe and Asia from more primitive life forms The first horse was an animal called Eohippus (Dawn Horse). It lived about 75 million years ago in the Eocene period. It was a small animal that looked little like today's horse, more like a very small deer about 30 cm at the shoulder. Over the next 75 million years, natural selection led to increased size and the development of one hoof from the original 5 toes with toe nails.
