Horses populated the world long before man evolved into a human being. Since the beginning of history the numbers of horses have decreased enormously until today when one breed after another is fast disappearing.
Different breeds of horses come from their own environments. Each environment has its own climate, soil, light, food, and water. Northern climates produce a horse with a thick coat. Hot climates have produced an animal with a thin skin and a fine coat. Damp climates have produced the slow, heavy, cold-blooded horse. In tropical climates there are small horses that have a lot of energy, and can endure hardship. .
