The organism itself doesn't "evolve"...but evolution has shaped the organism's genetics to result in its existing form. There was natural variability in it's ancestors...and some survived and some didn't; resulting in the type you see today. The individual organism, however, either survives to leave viable offspring (the key!) or not depending upon how it interacts with it's environment. Evolution only happens as a comparison between many different organisms that are somewhat variable from one to the other (genetically) and are subject to somewhat different environments.
All organisms are the result of evolution............but no one organism "evolves" by itself.

all organisms have evolved otherwise they would be extinct. some organisms, like a stick bug, for example evolve to blend in with their environment to avoid predation.

Take your pick - everything around you has evolved from something else. Even bacteria.

the horse..... much info on that available... since the early horse's bones have been found and they've pretty much tracked it thru it's 'family tree' to include several animals out there today....
