Were there horses in America before Columbus?

Thomas R. Valletta

“There was controversy regarding horses in the Western Hemisphere before Columbus arrived. However, modern archaeological discoveries have shed new light on the subject: ‘Fossil remains of true horses, differing but very slightly from the smaller and inferior breeds of those now existing, are found abundantly in deposits of the most recent geological age, in almost every part of America’” (Book of Mormon Student Manual [2009], 40).
