Unicorn sightings begun as soon as settlers started to explore the Americas. The American horned horse breed is the Moyle horse. Their horns are usually no more than a nub on their foreheads (often to one side or the other). They are breeding the horns out of this breed, just like they are the other two horned horse breeds. Horned horses aside though, legends of unicorns are in both indigenous lore, and in more modern lore. More info coming soon!
New York Times: A
Horned Horse (click to read the article) was shipped into New York in 1887. Most of the inbreeding necessary for creating these genetic throwbacks is no longer in practice. A long time ago, horse's ancestor's certainly had horns! Finding a horned horse in any day and age is sure to be unusual.
