Postoje mnoge teorije koje se tiču pripitomljavanja konja. Iako se konji pojavljuju u paleolitskoj pećinskoj umjetnost još oko 30.000 godina pne., to su bili potpuno divlji konji koje se vjerojatno lovilo radi meso; kada i kako su konji postali pripitomljeni je manje jasno. Najčešći datum za pripitomljavanje konja kao prijevoznog sredstva je cca. 2000. pne., iako kurganska hipoteza datira pripitomljavanje konja još u 4500. pne..
