Horses aren’t native to north america. They aren’t wild, they’re feral. Its not even old Spanish genetics, they’re just feral horses. Horses are stupid expensive for just a hobby so they get released all the time. They overgraze extremely hard because their digestive system is not designed for the western US.
MAGAts want this because they want to graze their cattle on what the horses are eating. I want this to restore some order to the entire ecosystem we destroyed. I want millions of wild bison.
There were native equines before the last ice age. They are appropriate for that ecology.
All equines originated from North America, at that, though yes they went extinct and were later reintroduced by Europeans.
Similarly, camelids like dromedaries, bactrians, llamas, alpacas, vicuñas, and guanacos also all originate from North America, their genetic ancestors crossing the Bering strait and moving west or moving south into South America. Those still in NA died in the mid-Pleistocene.
