  HKHPE 11 01   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
The undersides of the carcass were yellowish to white in color, and a dark dorsal stripe ran from the base of the tail to the mane.
Likewise, hemionids (Equus hemionus), adapted to the high dry steppes, from Iran to Mongolia, were also present in northernmost areas of Siberia and eastern Beringia (= Yukon/Alaska).
The bones of Equus, both horses and hemionids, are frequent fossils throughout all Beringian habitats where bones are preserved, both uplands and lowlands.

The Icelandic horse has a four-beat gait called the Tolt, which is equivalent to the Rack exhibited by several American gaited breeds.
Other members of the horse family include zebras, donkeys, and hemionids.
The Donkey, Burro or Domestic Ass, Equus asinus, like the horse, has many breeds.

 Pleistocene Horses In The New World, A Molecular Approach To Phylogeography - Biologypages   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
New World “stilt-legged” horses often appear in fossil deposits along with a second equid form that shares morphological characteristics with Eurasian caballines—a group that includes the domestic horse and the nearly extinct Przewalskii horse of Mongolia.
Because stilt-legged horses had builds similar to the onager and kiang, rare wild asses that live in Asia (Asian hemionids), it’s been suggested that stilt-leggeds migrated from Asia across the Bering Strait.
Even though stilt-leggeds share morphological traits with the Asian hemionids, they are genetically distinct, suggesting a convergence of form rather than a common ancestry.
