If a horse just out of the wild and untouched by humans is the most horse-like horse a horse can be, is our ability as horse handlers measured by how much of the horse we keep inside the horse during the training, or is it measured by how well we manipulate a horse to be of use and value to our needs?
The Value Of Studying Wild Horse Behaviour
Let me first say that there are very few true wild species of horses in the world. I guess you could call the Tarpan and the Przewalski and the Zebra true wild species of the genus Equus. But what most people call wild horses are just feral horses. That is, they are domesticated breeds who escaped captivity sometime in the past.
