Horses originated in North America.

Recorded sources
5 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that horses originated in North America?

Yes. Multiple reference works state that horses (and the genus Equus) originated in North America, with fossil evidence of early equids found there. One older source notes horses running wild in America without asserting a North American origin.
