Humans were smart enough to take advantage of them.  Horses in the "caballus" species are domesticated although some live in the wild as feral horses.

Their evolution over the past 45 to 55 million years has been astounding. They went froma  small multi-toed create and transformed intoa  large singe-toed animal that we see in present day.

Yea they have been around for quite some time. The population was able to survive because their anatomy allows them to use their speed to escape from predators and have a developed sense of balance.
