It needs food, water, and shelter. Wild horses travel in herds. Most have a chance of out-running a predator. There is also so many horses in one herd, that most horses have a chance of surviving. For zebras, their stripes help them camoflauge them.

It depends on the climate, but generally speaking in the snowy areas, wild ponies (obviously have survived in the past with the habitat), only need their thick winter coat, enough forage to maintain a good weight and nutrition(particularly a recommended winter weight for ponies), unfrozen water and they will also need to have good nutrition - for a good coat, weight, immune system and hooves.

Grass, water, and some form of shelter, even if it is just a wind block. And they do much better with a herd.
