Were Do Mustangs Live?

Mustangs live in the grassland areas of the western U.S. and mostly eat grass and brush. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management oversees the "wild" horse and burro (donkey) populations, and allows them to run free on 26.9 million acres (10.9 million hectares) of public land.

What is a mustangs habitat?

The habitat consists of dunes, marshes and tidal flats. Because of the unique environment, these horses are terrific swimmers, having survived on these sand banks for centuries. Mustangs thrive in difficult habitats as long as they have access to fresh water and grazing vegetation.

Where do horses live naturally?

Domesticated, or tamed, horses can live in almost any habitat, but wild horses prefer plains, prairies, and steppes for many reasons. Horses need wide open spaces for defense purposes, and they need some shelter, like trees or cliffs, to protect them from the elements.
