From the science of embryos fusing to bizarre DNA errors, we create some pretty amazing horse coat colors. Join Heather in this 2 part episode on some really extravagant horse coat colors.

This is just a sample of the biggest horse ever. With a name like Mammoth you better be big.

Extinct Horse breeds from all over the world some are 2000 plus years old. Although there are many horse breeds in the world a few were not so lucky. Most of the world's oldest breeds were eradicated by interbreeding, cross-breeding, and simply the loss of use due to machines. Some of these breeds were created in the last 200 years and some date back well into the BC era. Join Heather on a history lesson on extinct horse breeds from around the world.
