Some places still have free-roaming horses, others have nothing but fading signs and ghost stories.

There are spots in the U.S. where wild horses still run like they own the place. But there are also places where they used to—and then they just didn’t anymore. Whether they were pushed out, rounded up, or just lost to time, the story is never simple. Some states are still holding on. Others already let go. And if you want to see these animals for real, you need to know where to look before they are gone too.
