Your point is a good one. The example I gave is but a nanosecond in the evolution of the horse. Actually, fossil records for horses are quite contiguous. The modern horses hoof is actually its middle fingers, finger nail. Some semblance of former digits are still observable. However, since the modern horse did not exist in North America until the Spanish conquest the fossil record is not contaminated with equivocal evidence. The skeletal development of the horse in North America is quite complete and progressive. The horse evolved from the size of a small dog to that of a horse. It isn't announced in a chapter in Genesis, but it's good enough for me.
If you believe in magic, this is easily performed. See, you just wave your magic wand and poof...
Ok, so to keep some people happy, have must wave that magic wand a few more times to crate those false fossile records. Pain in the butt, but easy enough to do.
