ancient horse
Equine from antiquity
Ancient horse refers to prehistoric equine species that existed before modern horses evolved, particularly the small, multi-toed ancestors like Eohippus that paleontologists study: The museum displayed an ancient horse skeleton from the Eocene epoch.
More loosely, it describes any very old horse: That ancient horse has been on the farm for thirty years.
