20,000 to 25,000 BCE
- Cave paintings show that horses have been present on the Iberian Peninsula as far back as 20,000 to 25,000 BCE. Iberian horses are thought to be among the oldest types of domesticated horses. DNA studies indicate certain breeds have ancestry that can be traced to wild horses that lived about 6200BCE, in the Early Iberian Neolithic period.

This article presents the preliminary results of a comprehensive study of horse domestication in Iberia using archaeogenetics (ancient DNA) and osteometry. Gene flow across the Mediterranean has been shown to be a significant factor in other domestic
The results suggest that not only the Eastern steppes, but also the Iberian Peninsula provided refugia for wild horses in the Holocene, and that the genetic contribution of these wild populations to local domestic stock may have been considerable.
Mar 30, 2011 · In this study, we have confirmed previous claims whereby populations of E. ferus persisted in refugial steppe habitat in the East , and provide further evidence for a second Holocene refugium for wild horses in the Iberian Peninsula. Our results suggest that primary areas of horse domestication were confined to regions where considerable ...
Finally, I provide further compelling evidence for the persistence of wild horses in the Iberian Peninsula throughout the Holocene period, and the substantial contribution of these local populations to the gene pool of Iberian domestic horses.
