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]
