Archeological puts the oldest Equus asinus in Syria 9000 BC. Also Nile river; Somalia, Ethiopia. The African version is 1.10 to 1.22m and the somalian 1.25 to 1.30. This must be the same size as the original Danubian horse. Herodotus describes the Sigynnae (north of the Danube) as having horses incapable of carrying men and were used for chariots. In Northern Eritrea, Groves originates the E.A. Taeniopus to speculate on a wide mixing of Ass and having more than 1.30m
