Equus giganteus (or the giant horse) is a species of gigantic equine which lived in North America starting in the Blancan/North American Age, and died out 12,000 years ago. It was not synonymous with other species and breeds of Equus. It may have been as large as or larger than most known variants of draft horses. However the remains are very fragmentary, leading some scientists to classify E. giganteus as dubious species.
