Q: Is a horse now classified as a domestic animal?
A: Yes, the modern horse is classified as a domestic animal, as he is defined as ‘a species bred, born and raised and used’ by humans. Some herds of native horse breeds still exist in the wild, but most so-called wild horses are actually domestic horses that have escaped and become settled in their environment. The only truly wild horses left in existence today are Przewalski’s horses.
