Horses prefer open grasslands, however they will roam through forests, either deciduous or conifer. If the horse lives in a tropical location then it could also roam through tropical or rainforests. Typically horses will only roam through forests to find food and / or water, or to get to another location.

It does, however, depend on the location. For example, there exists a herd wild horses west of Sundre, Alberta, Canada (in the Siffleur Wilderness Area) as well as two herds in the Brittany Triangle of Chilcotin, British Columbia, Canada that live in forested areas--though not quite deciduous by any means. These herds, though they have access to grassy meadows in amongst the trees, still seek refuge and live in forested areas for many days, as it provides cover for mares close to giving birth, for horses to escape horse wranglers, and to hide in plain view of potential threats, even when these "threats" are tourists curious about their existence.
