How Many Species of horses are there across the world?

There is only one species of horse: Equus caballus.

However, there are many different breeds of horses, which are variations within the same species. These breeds have been developed over centuries through selective breeding, resulting in a wide range of sizes, colors, and physical characteristics.

For example, you might hear people refer to "Arabian horses" or "Thoroughbreds." These are not separate species, but distinct breeds within the same species, Equus caballus.
