Best Answer

There are no actual 'Wild horses' in the US. The only Wild horse in the world is the Przewalski's horse and that horse is found in Mongolia. In the USA feral or 'free-roaming' horses are what are typically referred to as 'wild'. You can find different types of feral horses in different areas.

Mustangs can be found in : Nevada (more than half the total population lives here), Montana, Wyoming, and Oregon.

A wild horse of the western US is typically a descendant of domestic horses that were released or escaped and now live in the wild. They are found throughout the western states, particularly in areas like Nevada, Wyoming, and Utah. These horses are known for their hardiness and adaptability to the harsh environments of the American West.
