The term "Wild Horse" refers to horses that live freely in the wild without human intervention. These horses are often descendants of domesticated horses that escaped or were released. They typically form herds and are known for their strong social structures and behaviors. One of the most well-known populations of wild horses in the United States is the Mustang. These horses roam various regions, particularly in the western states, and are protected by federal law. Wild horses play a significant role in the ecosystem, influencing vegetation and serving as a part of the natural landscape.
