No, missed out on that. Must have been 19th or early 20th century thinking.
The little bit of evolution we got in school concentrated on what was
known (or what they thought was known) at that time, with little
attention given to what had already fallen by the wayside.
When I was in school from the mid-50s to late-60s they were already
teaching that Eohippus & the modern horse were collateral lines.

Early Darwinists proposed an evolutionary sequence of the horse
beginning with a dog sized creature called Eohippus. A series of larger
& larger creatures from the fossil record "proved" evolution to the
modern day Equus. Weren't you taught that at school? However, it was
subsequently discovered that some of the species actually existed
simultaneously (fossils found together) and even in the wrong order
(radioactive dating methods) so the theory was busted. It doesn't
disprove evolution of the horse, only the fanciful Eohippus sequence.

What is the "eohippus theory" and how has it been discredited?

The extremes of selective breeding. Incredible how small some strains of
horses are today. Almost lends belief to the discredited eohippus
theory. Tou picked just the right moment.

Dan,
I suspect, in reality, you are just testing our telepathic abilities
