Keith, it's still the first type of horse. Just been more correctly named.

Player #103226799, There is much confusion about "its" and "it's. Here's an easy way to remember which one to use: "It's" always means "it is". "Its" - without the apostrophe, shows possession, as in, "the dog slept in its bed".

Keith, so now we have it from the "horse's mouth" 😄

Keith, THhis is for the author of this animal's description: it's ITS body, ITS evolution, ITS description. IT'S is a contraction of "IT IS" and is not the possessive form of the word!

This has since been debunked. See "Icons of Evolution" by Jonathan Wells. Eohippus was found to be unrelated to horses and has subsequently been renamed Hyracotherium.
