English term or phrase: Feral horses

Qual é a tradução de feral horses?

Feral horses are free-roaming, untamed horses who are descended from domesticated horses. As such, they do not meet the definition of "true" wild horses that never had domesticated ancestors. All feral horses are descended from domestic horses that strayed or escaped into the wild. Most feral horses, if captured young and handled properly, can be re-domesticated.
