Wild mustangs are not wild. They are feral, meaning they are desendants of once domesticated livestock. Let me tell you the history of Mustangs.

In 1492, when Christopher Columbus came to the Americas, he brought with him all kinds of livestock, horses among them. Many different breeds were brought here. Some escaped, some were released. These horses grouped together to form the basis of the Mustang we know today. Through natural selection, only the strongest, hardiest, and best survived. These horses are what we call mustangs.

So, the mustangs themselves were not brought to the Americas, but their ancestors were brought here in the 15th century.
