Hipparionini is a tribe of three toed horses in the subfamily Equinae. They had body forms similar to modern equines, with high-crowned teeth. They first appeared in North America during the Early Miocene around 17 million years ago, before migrating into the Old World around 11-10 million years ago.[1] The youngest species date to the Early Pleistocene.[2]
