There are several types of wild horses. In America, there are Mustangs, which is a specific breed of horse decending from the Spanish horses that escaped the Spaniards when America was still a new land. Some people call any wild horse a Mustang, but a horse can only really be a Mustang if it is of that line. On the east coast, there are several islands called Chincoteague and Aussaeteague (spelling may be wrong). Protected wild ponies roam the island of Aussaeteague, and once a year, they're driven across the channel and some are selected to be sold, but most are released again.

Przewalski's horse
domestic horse
Answer:
Most "wild horses" found in the world are actually feral horses, domestic horses that have escaped captivity and gone back to nature. They can be captured and tamed as they are still domestic horses. Of the list presented above, the Tarpan is extinct leaving only Przewalski's horse as an actual living, never domesticated, wild horse. If you expand the definition of "horse" a bit you could include three species of zebra and various subspecies of African Wild Ass (the Onager and Kiang)
