1 . (
Zool .)
A hoofed quadruped of the genus {
Equus };
especially ,
the domestic horse ({
Equus caballus }),
which was domesticated in Egypt and Asia at a very early period .
It has six broad molars ,
on each side of each jaw ,
with six incisors ,
and two canine teeth ,
both above and below .
The mares usually have the canine teeth rudimentary or wanting .
The horse differs from the true asses ,
in having a long ,
flowing mane ,
and the tail bushy to the base .
Unlike the asses it has callosities ,
or chestnuts ,
on all its legs .
The horse excels in strength ,
speed ,
docility ,
courage ,
and nobleness of character ,
and is used for drawing ,
carrying ,
bearing a rider ,
and like purposes .
[
1913 Webster ]
Note :
Many varieties ,
differing in form ,
size ,
color ,
gait ,
speed ,
etc .,
are known ,
but all are believed to have been derived from the same original species .
It is supposed to have been a native of the plains of Central Asia ,
but the wild species from which it was derived is not certainly known .
The feral horses of America are domestic horses that have run wild ;
and it is probably true that most of those of Asia have a similar origin .
Some of the true wild Asiatic horses do ,
however ,
approach the domestic horse in several characteristics .
Several species of fossil ({
Equus })
are known from the later Tertiary formations of Europe and America .
The fossil species of other genera of the family {
Equid [
ae ]}
are also often called horses ,
in general sense .
