Wild Horses traces the origins of today's feral equin species and explains how geographic history and cross breeding have influenced their development.

Coverage includes herds in the Ural Mountain foothills and Bashkir herds; ponies of the British Isles, south of France and the Camargue horses; the horses of the Iberian peninsula; the island-bound horses of Nova Scotia and Virginia; mustangs of the American west; Australian brumbies; and asses of western Asia, known as "onagers."
