AtarasBlog Przewalski's horse is the ONLY wild horse that still exists today. The "wild mustangs" are simply FERAL domesticated horses and are invasive and damaging the the environment. They're not meant to be there. And how racist and fucked up to compare it to slavery, it invalidates REAL people's experiences for your own gain. I'm not saying people haven't used horses in bad ways but don't compare it to slavery.

Over the thousands of years humans and horses have been together, humans have bred horses to have the characteristics humans value most. Some are bred for endurance, some for strength, some for beauty, some for agility, some for jumping ability, some for a placid, loving disposition, some for bucking ability, some for speed, etc. Usually, besides their physical characteristics, we want horses that like us, or at least tolerate us. We usually don't want a horse that is uncontrollable, or "wild". Horses are still "herd" animals, and need a leader. Hopefully their human is the herd leader. And often, a horse with undesirable behaviors was made that way by mishandling by humans, though I think humans are getting much smarter about the way they handle and train horses. So we have bred horses to have the characteristics we're want. Sure, horses usually like to get out and kick up their heels, but most of the horses I know are waiting at the fence in the evening to go back to their stalls. I think they may feel safer in their stalls, much less risk of predators getting them. I had a mare who HATED being out in the rain, even a light misty drizzle. She broke a barrier board once to get into the barn and out of the rain. Not natural for "wild" horses, but natural for her. We've done the same manipulative breeding with dogs, cats, cattle, goats, sheep, swine etc. Dogs are so different from the wolves they're descended from! There is a HUGE diversity of dog types and breeds, because we breed them for the traits we want. Is it natural for wolves to sleep inside? No. So our dogs are not "natural" and running free any more. Are our housecats just like lions and tigers? (Actually, I think housecats are more like their wild ancestors than any other domesticated animal.) Most of my cats have been fierce predators, but not loners like most wild cats, they have learned to like their house mates and there's plenty of mutual grooming going on. And they follow people around, interested in what we're doing and wanting attention and cuddles. And they all sleep inside all night -- not "natural" for wild cats. I think running "free" is natural for horses who are born feral, but many "wild" mustangs are easy to train and seem to like their humans. I think the idea of all horses wanting to be "free" is a romantic fantasy held by people that don't know very much about modern horses at all. I have a friend who thinks I'm a horse abuser because I keep my horses in stalls. She doesn't see that her dogs living and sleeping inside her house is really the same. "Well, that's different" she says about her dogs. No, it isn't.
