No. Horses are not native to the Americas and Mustangs are descendants from domesticated Spanish horses. Because they are a foreign species they can be harmful to the local environments in which they live, and if they go unchecked they destroy grasslands because they have few local predator and they multiply until they overload the land. The bureau of land management calculated the manageable number of mustangs in the US to be 27,000 horses, yet there are currently over 33,000. in order to help control the population the bureau does sell some for meat to Asian countries.

they are severely endangered there are places in the united states that have barely over 1,000 or less but there are very few of them left if not for sactuaries and natinal parks these horses might not make it their grasslands are being destroyed for farming , housing, and factories . froom an opinion of someone who has read alot and seen alot this is true
