When the spanish came to America and brought horses, some of these horses were released into the wild or escaped and they bred and through natural selection only the strongest and hardiest survive into wild horses.
Wild horses in North America are actually descendants of the horses that escapes when settlers settled the West, and because of this they are feral horses, not wild.
No. They came from the Spanish Conquistadors when they first came to America. Technically, their called Mustangs, not "Wild horses". Wild means it's ancestors were wild, but the Mustang's family wasn't. They were ridden before escaping into America.
Wild horses in North America are direct descendants of horses brought to America from Europe by the Spanish and later migrants. They are probably not directly descended from the horses who left their fossilized bones on the American continent millennia before Columbus.
A mustang is one of the feral horses that inhabit much of America. (It is incorrect to call them wild horses as they are not truly wild; they are the descendants of horses belonging to Spanish settlers which have become feral.) A group of horses is called a herd.
Usually. The breed in America is usually the American Mustang.
One of the continents where wild horses live is in North America, in particular the Mustang horse. Wild horses can also be found in Australia.
Edward Purcell has written: 'Wild Horses Of America'
Yes. In both North & South America there are horses that live in the wild. These are however feral horses (domestic horses that have escaped and reverted to the wild state) rather than native wild horses. The only true wild horse are Przewalski's horses in Mongolia. These are wild horses that were reestablished from zoo stock then released.
There are still some wild herds still around. There is at least 1 that come from Eurasia and then there are America's wild mustangs.
Some wild horses are tamed as people re introduce them into the wild as other wild horses just are free
