"early Eocene"

Orohippus

"mid-Eocene"

Epihippus

"late Eocene"

Hyracotherium Orohippus, and Epihippus are varieties of the same kind of animal, much like the variety among cat and dogs. They all the a 4 toes one their front feet and 3 toes on the back as well as many other similarities that show them to be the same kind of animal.

Mesohippus

"latest Eocene" - "early Oligocene"

Miohippus

"early Oligocene"

Kalobatippus

"late Oligocene"

Parahippus

"mid-Miocene"

Merychippus

"mid-Miocene"


Here we a distinct kind as opposed to Orohippus, Epihippus,  and Hyracotherium. They had 4 toes in front and 3 toes in the rear.  Mesohippus Miohippus, Kalobatippus, Parahippus, and Merychippus 3 toes on all 4 feet. There is no evidence of a gradual shift as well as other features in common.

Mesohippus Miohippus, Kalobatippus, Parahippus, and Merychippus are varieties of the same kind of animal, much like the variety among cat and dogs.

GAP

This cap is right were Merychippus' 3 toes would theoretically become Dinohippus' one toe.


Pliohippus

"late Oligocene"

Dinohippus

"late Miocene"

Equus

"Pleistocene"

Pliohippus, Dinohippus and Equus are varieties of the horse kind, much like the variety among cat and dogs. There a clear jump from 3 to 1 toe, hardly evidence for evolution.

Equus and Hyracotherium are two distinct kinds with a third placed between them. They have no real evidence of a relationship. This whole scenario is based comparing teeth and legs between several distinct kinds of animals while ignoring other greater body differences.
