wild horse

Free-roaming equine

A wild horse is a horse living in a feral or undomesticated state.

True wild horses—never domesticated—are nearly extinct; most "wild" horses descend from domesticated stock that escaped or was released.

The mustangs of the American West are wild horses in this sense.

Wild horses couldn't drag me away means nothing could make someone leave or change their mind.
