"The evolution of the horse from a species of small, forest dwelling omnivores to a species of large plans
dwelling herbivores is confirmed by the fossil record."
This idea was debunked several years ago due to dis-similar traits in the supposed progression of the animals. Not sure if the Chicago museum still has their exhibit on display, though.

This idea was debunked several years ago due to dis-similar traits in the supposed progression of the animals..It was my understanding that it was back in fashion, again. More equine fossils were found since the Chicago museum.

The eohippus-horse progression gets better established with each passing decade's new finds. You are no doubt reporting a minor early mis-apprehension in the ordering of the fossils--the sort of adjustment that is made all the time as new evidence comes in, and in more fields of science than just paleontology. Anyone with access to a natural history museum can verify that this progression has not been "debunked" except to the satisfaction of the "scientists" at the Creationist Institute.
