Horses themselves are not endangered but certain species are. Australia is home to the most wild horses in the world. They are brumbies, they are an official breed however, the other small percentage of wild horses in the world are not so popular. It is mainly the wild horses that are endangered because domestic horses are in the care of humans, have vets and a properly fed.
