There are only two species of horse in the world. The species of horse that is commonly domesticated and ridden, Equus caballus, is not endangered at all. In fact, in some parts of America and some parts of Australia, feral horses (mustangs/brumbies) are pest species and have to be culled. Some breeds of domestic horse are endangered because the gene pool is too small or there are not enough enthusiasts determined to breed pure to keep the breed alive. The only truly endangered horse is Przewalski's horse. They cannot be domesticated, and the only domestic specimens are in zoos. They have a different number of chromosomes to the domestic horse and so the offspring, like mules, are generally sterile. They were thought to be extinct but have been rediscovered. Efforts are underway to preserve the last wild population in Mongolia. Przewalski's horse is believed to be similar in type to the first true horses to evolve.
