I will quote the study..


Horses were domesticated from the Eurasian steppes 5,000–6,000 years ago. Since then, the use of horses for transportation, warfare, and agriculture, as well as selection for desired traits and fitness, has resulted in diverse populations distributed across the world, many of which have become or are in the process of becoming formally organized into closed, breeding populations (breeds).

This is just like some of those human genetic studies were only West Norwegians are sampled:tongue

There is a Florida Cracker horse? And I did not know about it!? Must immediately Google.
