I don't believe that. How hard is it to capture baby horses, it would happen naturally hunting their parents. Horses bond decently with people and if captured and socialized heavily by the tribe from a young age I have no doubt first generation wild horses would be rideable and could be bred.
- Amezarak 2y agoYes, but the ability to bond decently with people may be a trait that was bred into them during the early domestication process.
- CuriouslyC 2y agoWild horses run in herds, I think they're naturally social. If anything, it takes less work now - ranchers can ride horses that get very limited human contact, but the I image first generation tamed horses must have required a lot of socialization.
- oblio 2y agoI'm fairly sure that not only are they social, their society is hierarchical, which would make it easier for them to accept humans as "top horses".
- dontlikeyoueith 2y agoFeral horses run in herds. They are descended from animals that were already bred for domestication. You are confusing cause and effect. Wild horses are extinct.
- CuriouslyC 2y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Przewalski's_horse https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Przewalski's_horse Social structure just like feral horses. Maybe do some research before you tell people they're confused.
- dontlikeyoueith 2y agoThe post I was responding to was clearly talking about ranchers training feral horses. Przewalski's isn't relevant.
