Free-roaming Horses

Free-roaming horses are wild horses that live in open landscapes without human ownership or confinement. These horses naturally migrate across vast areas, forming herds, and rely on the land for food, water, and shelter. They are descendants of domesticated horses that escaped or were released into the wild and have adapted to a free-spirited existence. Their presence can influence ecosystems, sometimes creating conflicts with land use or agriculture. Managing free-roaming horses involves balancing their conservation with environmental and community interests, ensuring healthy populations while protecting native habitats.
