The "native" horses to North America are the mustangs. While prehistoric equine ancestors originated in the Americas, there was a period of time where the species altogether disappeared. It wasn't until Columbus and Spanish explorers came to the Americas, bringing with them their horse stock (which resulted in horses escaping or being released into the wilds) that horses were reintroduced into the Americas.
