Wild horses are omnivorous because all horses eat plants or grains. In the wild, they sometimes cannot find the plants they need to survive and then go after meat. They may sometimes go after their own in the herd, but they only do so unless they are in desperate need of food and energy.
Probably the Spaniards captured wild horses. Probably the Spaniards captured wild horses.

"Wild horses run free. Domesticated horses are tamer. Those are the only differences." those aren't the only differences. Domesticated horses eat very differently to wild horses, for example wild horses wouldn't eat chaff and pony nuts, wild horses would eat grass and berries. they also live very differently to one another... there are a few differences really
The horse is a prey animal, and generally today horses are not eaten by anything, unless out in the wild or sold to be slaughtered. If a horse is sold at an auction to be slaughtered the horse is generally of no use to the owner or is too old. Wild horses in the US are usually smart enough to avoid being eaten but foals or injured horses might be attacked by mountain lions/cougars, wolves, and sometimes grizzly or black bears. Domestic horses may also get attacked by such predators.
There are many known predators (mostly mountain cats) who attack horses, but also humans who kill horses for their meat. Seen as a pest, brumbies (wild Australian horses) were slaughtered in large numbers in the 1960's, which led to public outrage. In the US, horses are threatened by wildcats, dogs, snakes, gators (in the southeast US), other horses, and of course humans.
Horses are herbivores.. That is, they eat vegetation and not meat. If a domestic horse does not eat meat then neither would a wild horse, right?
NO. Just like with all other horses, Mongolian wild horses are prey animals, or herbivorous. They are not predators: predators eat meat or have an omnivorous (plant and meat) diet.
They either get well or die
In domestication horses need their hooves trimmed to keep them a proper shape to avoid lameness. In the wild horses 'trim' their own hooves by walking on rough ground which wears them down.

Some wild horses are tamed as people re introduce them into the wild as other wild horses just are free
