The subfamily contains three tribes, the extant Equini as well as the extinct Hipparionini and Protohippini. Members of the family ancestrally had three toes, while members of the tribe Equini from the Middle Miocene onwards developed monodactyl feet. They belong to the order Perissodactyla, meaning they are odd-toed animals.
