Evolution. It's a wonderful thing. Natures way of improving on what already exists. Most know this is why we and everything else on earth is here today. Well like us (in a sense) who have been believed or have evolved from primates (whichever your view) horses in their beginnings we're very different than they are today. About 55 million years ago they were no bigger than a average sized house cat of today. They also had three toes instead of the one visible one that they have today. It's amazing that something that originally weighed 15 to 20 lbs to what the big drafts can weigh today which is about 2500lbs.
