The Last Wild Horse on Earth – the Amazing Story of the Takhi
Posted by Selena Travel / Feb 23, 2025
Before human beings came to Eurasia, many varieties of horses roamed in herds over the vast steppes of the continent.

Humans started to domesticate equus ferus around 4000 BCE.   After another thousand years, this species, equus ferus, started to become more widespread. They outcompeted the other wild horse species, and one by one, they went extinct. The domesticated horse was the last horse standing. Except for one species.
