Only one true wild-horse species survives: Przewalski's Horse, a rare Asian species which exists in Mongolia. Other feral populations include the mustangs of western america, Brumbies in Australia, and Kaimanawa horses in New Zealand.

As of 2002, the world population of these horses is about 1000, all descended from approximately 15, captured around 1900 and bred in zoos.

There are ongoing attempts to "breedback" to ancient lines, and to reintroduce rare species into new areas around the world.
