‘Wild’ horses?

In real life there technically isn't any 'wild' horses left apart from the Przewalski's horse, the rest are considered descendants of domestic horses so the proper term should be feral. But this is just something not many people know and probably won't change the game much so you can just ignore me I guess.
Ummm, hello? Mustangs?
And the horses are just wild in the game. It does not have to be soooo realistic.

They are still considered feral because they still descended from domestic horses

Currently, the majority of the wild horse population and burros can be found on government-designated HMAs in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah and Wyoming. Of course many people also believe that Mustangs are wild horses but scientists also believe otherwise.
Yep, technically what we usually call "wild horses" are actually feral horses. It's like wild boar vs. feral pig. They look pretty similar, but the first ones were never domesticated, and the second ones descended from the domesticated population.
I love my technicalities, so support I guess, haha.
- my kingdom for a horse -
i think i'd be more for this if HoFa was actually trying to simulate irl feral horses, like having the only breeds you can find in the wilds be Chincoteagues, Mustangs, Brumbies, and so on. but you can find anything from Friesians to Clydesdales in the wild, so i don't see why they can't be referred to as "Wild Horses" in the context of the game functioning differently from real life.
I agree with @forgottenland. This game is pretty realistic as far as breeding goes but the explore doesn't seem to be meant to be completely realistic!
just a girl who loves horses...
I agree with @forgottenland too.

I agree with forgottenland, but it would be kinda cool to have Przewalski horses in the game!
Przewalski's aren't domesticated though. They really are the most truly "wild" horses
i don't think anyone here was saying przewalski's horses are domesticated?
an issue i could see from having them in game is them becoming unpopular because of a lack of color options, like with Hanos right now.
