Domestic horses as a whole are not endangered, but some varieties of horse are. The Przewalski's Horse is listed as an "endangered" species by the US Fish and Wildlife Services, or the US FWS Endangered Species List. They were posted as endangered in 1976. They are also protected by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, or CITES, under appendix I. According to the International Union of Conservation for Nature, or the IUCN Red List, the Przewalski's Horse, or the Mongolian Wild Horse, and the African Wild Ass are both listed as "critically endangered", while the Asiatic Wild Ass, and the Grevy's Zebra are listed as "endangered". The Zebra and the Wild Ass are in the same scientific genus "Equus" as the horse, but most people don't refer to them as horses.

The horse species itself is not endangered but there are certain breeds of horse that are endangered and close to extinction like the Mustangs and exmoor ponies. There are certain countries around the world where horses are rarely seen or never seen yet other countries where horses run wild and are considered as pests. There are well and truly hundreds of different breeds of Equid so for the species to actually become completely extinct I shouldn't think would happen anytime soon.
