Semi-Wild horse?

Question

What does the term Semi-wild horse mean? I know I'm cheating, but I'm doing a quiz and I don't know the answer to that....I don't know is many people do... but thats not the point. If someone could help me out, That'd be great.

Answer 1

Well where I grew up it was horses that were kept outside with fenceing, but not tamed or saddle broke, or they lived in an area where they were going to used later after they grew. Wild, but owned by someone was also the termed used.

Answer 2

Hi!
Semi-wild is a term that refers to a horse that is owned and in and enclosed area, but is not tamed in any way. Often semi-wild horses live as herds in areas over 100 acres.
Hope I could help and good luck on the quiz.

Answer 3

It means a horse that is owned by someone but lives like a feral horse. They are often in a fenced area but not always. Such as the Camargue horses of France and how the Brumbys used to be in Australia.

Answer 4

I would say a semi-wild horse is a horse that depends on humans for its food and shelter and water, but it is not a usable horse as far as riding or driving. It might let you pet it or brush it or feed it by hand, but not much more.

Answer 5

Hehe good question. I would consider a horse either wild or tamed.

My best guess would be a halter broke horse but still not able to get near it comfortably or pickup feet etc..

Answer 6

I would think it would mean a horse that has been caught, and handled- to a point. More like a horse that is in a pasture and is mostly left alone. Kind of like one of our horses, Tango. He is friendly enough, but we can't saddle him, or bridle him or get on, and he spooks at everything.

Answer 7

A wild horse that has domestic ancestors.

Answer 8

At a guess, and it is a guess, I'd say a horse that was maybe halter broken, but not bit, bridle or saddle.
