This was a “hog maned.” short legged, large headed beast It seems probable that the domesticated horses of the Germans of Caesar's time were derived from this breed. The Egyptians had horses as early as 1900 B. C. These were long maned, more like the Arab horses, and came from Assyria Where the Assyrians obtained them Is unknown, but it was probably from southern Asia, where this long maned breed has been devel- oped in all probability as the result of long continued domestication. The modern horse is a cross between these two breeds, with a further mixture of the Arab horse. This Arab horse, too, was itself a descendant of the earlier long maned horse. The origin of the long maned horse is a matter of doubt, but Professor Koe nig thinks it may have been from an extinct Indian species, Women Who Marry at Thirty-five.
