montanabw you really shouldn't be commenting on horse taxonomy or evolution if you admit that you don't have the time or concern to study it your implication that hagerman's horse is just equus ferus caballus equus caballus in disquise for that is almost certainly what you are implying is not only just plain wrong it is manipulatively misleading and i find your comments about 'subgroups' a bit disturbing it seems as though you believe that subspecies are invalid taxonomic classifications this is just laughable if you want to talk about domestic horse breeds go do that on the horse page and i can't beleive i have to say this but you should be made aware that domestic horse breeds are not of an equal taxonomic status to ancient horse species
