I wish I had me one of them three-toed horses. It would save a fortune on farrier's bills.

Maybe, maybe not. They were pad-footed, kind of like a dog, but with little "hoofies" on their toes. You might have had to have the farrier shoeing 14 little hooves per horse. The Eohippus was also a fairly small critter, about the size of a dog.

On the plus side, they were browsers instead of grazers. I wonder if they ate salal and blackberry bushes? :-)
