No, mustangs are generally not considered invasive, due to the fact that horses evolved here and lived here as recently as 10,000 years ago. Populations migrated over into Asia and were domesticated there, while it is the belief that all horses in the Americas went extinct. When they were brought back, it was no different ecologically than reintroducing the wolves to Yellowstone. The species prospered here because this is where they evolved and returning has put them back into their niche in the ecosystem.
