Are there still wild horses out there?
I've been watching wild stallion movies lately, and I want to know, are there still wild horses in the world, because the species has been tamed. If you know there are, name a place in the world there still are. Mucho love, -Lanie

- There are, but they are all descendants of domestic ones We have some near my grandparent's ranch in Montana
- The person above me is probably right. there are wild ones in places such a mongolia.
- Yes. Believe it or not, the U.S. still has a wild mustang population. I am including a link about an interesting story thats recent.
- Moreton Island off the coast of Brisbane (Australia) has brumbies roaming around. They've been rounded up from all the other islands as far as I know. I've been to a place in England with lots of really cute wild horses... Beaulieu Forest maybe - something like that. Mongolia has a wild horse population. Hokkaido, Japan I think still does. I'm sure there's plenty more places - including mainland Australia.
- Most likely!
- Do you mean wild or feral? Because the mustangs of the US, then New Forest, Dartmoor and various others all over the UK, as well as Carmagues in France are among the feral breeds - composed of the descendants of domesticated animals that went wild. Then Przewalski's wild horse was considered extinct in the wild, but captive breeding programmes have reintroduced it to reserves in China and Mongolia, so it's as wild as the arabian oryx. There's an eastern european horse bred to resemble the extinct tarpan which is technically feral but treated as wild, because it's intentionally not under human control. that's about it, I think.
