Wait... How much does a horse cost?
You can get one for free if you want. Theres still wild horse populations.
But if you want, you can spend hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions on a horse. You could also probably get one for a few hundred but that one is already on its way to a glue factory.
There are very, very few wild horses, and they're pretty much untamable. But there are TONS of feral horses with populations growing out of control and governments at a loss for what to do about it
There are no wild horses; all horses are either tamed or their ancestors were.

The Przewalski's horse is not the wild form of our horse. It’s a other sub species (a little bit like the zebra or the donkey) with (for example) another chromosome count. Another problem is that there are evidences that the modern Przewalski's horse feraled from a domesticate form of the primal Przewalski's horse (that was tamed by the Botai culture). A further problem is that the Przewalski's horse was extincted in the wild for decades and only survived because of human breeding (so it was kind of tamed again).
