These small horses lived in the forest.Their many toes helped the horses run over the soft wet ground.
It was very hot in the forest.But the weather changed.It became cold.Many trees couldn’t live in cold weather.The trees died and fell.Forest became open field.The sun made the ground dry and hard (坚硬).Horses began to change too.They began to get bigger.This took a long time.On the dry hard land, horses needed only their middle toes for running.At last their middle toes became hard.
