![The American West has mustangs while the Australian Outback has brumbys. However, these are feral animals. The mustangs are descended from horses brought by Spanish Conquistador to the Americas which escaped and roamed free. Brumbys are the descendants of horses of early European settlers that escaped into the Outback. This makes the Takhi the last true wild horses on the planet.
