†Equus bautistensis Equus scotti (translated from Latin as Scott's horse,[1] named after vertebrate paleontologist William Berryman Scott) is an extinct species of horse native to Pleistocene North America.

[3] Although it has been suggested that Equus scotti may be synonymous with living Equus ferus[3], North American horses diverged from their Eurasian counterparts around 800,000 years ago, following the first dispersal of horses out of North America, with some interbreeding after the initial split.

The youngest remains of the species date to the Late Pleistocene (Rancholabrean) around 12,000 years ago.

The species was named from Rock Creek, Texas, United States, where multiple skeletons were recovered.

[7] The distribution of the species includes: "Alberta, Ontario, Saskatchewan and Yukon (Canada) and in California, Florida, Idaho, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas (United States)".
