Description and history
The wild horse (Equus ferus) is a species of the genus Equus, which includes as subspecies the domesticated horse as well as the undomesticated Tarpan. The genus Equus also includes Donkeys.

The first creature to bear the type Horse was Zodiac Horse in Portal Three Kingdoms (though the Nightmare from Alpha was later issued errata to become a Horse as well).
Hour of Devastation introduced a Horse Lord with Crested Sunmare.[2][3]
