Neohipparion (Greek: "new" (neos), "pony" (hipparion)[1]) is an extinct genus of equid,[2] from the Neogene (Miocene to Pliocene) of North America and Central America.
[3][4][5][6] Fossils of this horse have been found in Texas,[7][8] Florida,[8][9] Kansas,[10] South Dakota,[11] Montana,[12] Nevada,[13] Alabama,[14] Oregon,[15] and Mexico.
[16] This prehistoric species of equid grew up to lengths of 4.5 to 5 ft (1.4 to 1.5 m) long.
[17] In Florida, Neohipparion lived in a wooded grassland savanna environment during the dry season but moved to a wet environment when it came time to mate.
eurystyle’’ fossils found in Florida indicate that it fed almost exclusively on C4 grasses.
