∙ 15y agoWild horses did live in North America thousands of years ago, but they died out. The Spanish brought horses with them when they explored the continent. Some of these horses escaped and reproduced in the wild. These herds were called mustangs, because the Spanish word for stray is mestano.

∙ 12y agoWild Mustangs are descendants of Spanish horses. When Christopher Columbus came to America, he brought with him horses. Many of these horses were turned loose and formed bands, or herds, and moved farther north into the USA. Only the toughest, hardiest horses survived and became what we know today the wild mustang.
However, some people say that a Spanish shipwreck in the gulf of Mexico lead to wild mustangs. The horses swam to shore and the few who made it formed bands, or herds.
If you mean where do wild mustangs live now, they live in western states like Nevada, Montana, Oregon, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, California, North Dakota, South Dakota. etc. They are quickly disappearing, though, because the BLM rounds them up and does it way too much. But that's just my opinion.
Well, i hope this helped!

What is a define feral horse?
A feral horse is a free-roaming horse of domesticated ancestry. As such, a feral horse is not a wild animal in the sense of an animal without domesticated ancestors. However, some populations of feral horses are managed as wildlife, and these horses often are popularly called "wild" horses. Feral horses are descended from domestic horses that strayed, escaped, or were deliberately released into the wild and remained to survive and reproduce there. Away from humans, over time, these animals' patterns of behavior revert to behavior more closely resembling that of wild horses. Some horses that live in a feral condition but may be occasionally handled or managed by humans, particularly if privately owned, are referred to as "semi-feral."
