Equus semplicatus was a Pleistocene species of New World stilt-legged horse,[2] and considered the type species for the stilt legged horses, one of three lineages of equids within the Americas,[3] the other two being hippidionid and caballine horses.[4] Now extinct, Equus semiplicatus once inhabited North America.[5]
Fossils found William's Cave in Texas have been identified as Equus semiplicatus.[5]
