Horses Before They Evolved. On the new continent, several subspecies evolved, including the eurasian wild horse or tarpan (equus ferus ferus). The history of the horse family, equidae, began during the eocene epoch, which lasted from about 56 million to 33.9 million years ago. When the ancestors of horses crossed the bering strait into eurasia, they walked on a thick sheet of ice. A brief history of horses. Horses evolved in the americas around four million years ago, but by about 10,000 years ago, they had mostly disappeared from the fossil. We know what horses ate millions of years ago by studying distinctive microscopic scratches, pits and other wear patterns on their teeth that were created as the ancient horses chewed plant. This species is thought to be the ancestor of all horses living today. For more than half their history, most horses remained small, forest browsers.
