The earliest fossil form, in the phylogeny of horse, is Eohippus.

Explanation:

The first horse fossil was discovered in North America. It was given the name eohippus. This horse, roughly the size of a fox, had a short head and a short tail. The forefeet have four whole fingers and one first-finger splint, while the hind feet have three functional toes and one fifth-toe splint.
