Feral: in a wild state, after escape from captivity or domestication. Donkeys can survive with poorer water sources than horses. Horses have been protected in the us since 1981. We failed to domesticate species such as deer, bison, moose etc. If you allow horses to form their own bands you will have close to 100% pregnancy rates (catch rate: social animals that understand hierarchies.
