Equus alaskae was a Pleistocene species of horse, now extinct, that inhabited North America. Fossils found from Alaska to Mexico have been identified as this species, and it has been referred to as the most common equid in the southwest of North America. The species was medium to small-sized, around the dimensions of a cowpony. It belongs to Equus, the genus of the horse family Equidae that includes the living horses, asses and zebras, and the page that describes it records little beyond its range and size.
