The domestication of the horse had a wide-ranging effect on the steppe cultures, and Anthony has done fieldwork on it. [28] Bit wear is a sign of horse-riding, and the dating of horse teeth with signs of bit wear gives clues for the dating of the appearance of horse-riding. [ 29 ]
The ancestral coat color of E. ferus was possibly a uniform dun, consistent with modern populations of Przewalski's horses. Pre-domestication variants including black and spotted have been inferred from cave wall paintings and confirmed by genomic analysis. [58] Domestication may have also led to more varieties of coat colors. [59]
