Right that’s the point though North America is the native continent of equines. It shouldn’t come as a shock they do well here.
That's a good point, and raises a bit of a philosophical question. Horses evolved in the Americas, but were gone for a period of time. How long does an animal need to be gone from a region to longer count as native? They've definitely changed a lot, especially the domesticated version that was introduced by the Spanish.
