Horses are found all over the world in nearly every biome of terrestrial Earth except Antarctica.
Domesticated horses live on farms, ranches, or equine facilities/centres that are almost always located in a rural area. Many cities, however, have equine facilities or centres within city limits that are situated in a designated "agricultural" or "recreational" zoned area. Depending on the city, horses are kept there from spring to autumn before being taken to rural farms or ranches where they are cared for over winter; much farther south, such areas would see horses kept there year-round. Such equine facilities or centres hold horses for pleasure-riding or riding lessons, or sporting events such as horse-racing, show jumping and large rodeo events. Further, equine facilities may also belong to not-for-profit animal rescue organizations (such as the SPCA) if they commonly have to attend to situations where large domestic and farmed animals such as horses are involved in abuse or neglect cases. An example would be the SPCA in Houston, Texas. Horses that live on equine facilities/centres, depending on the size of the place, may be held primarily in barns with stables, or may have the option of being out in a grassy paddock for part of or all day. Other facilities may not have a grassy pasture but a dirt-paddock with stables attached.
Domesticated horses that live on farms or ranches may be confined to a stable or barn, but are also often allowed to be outdoors most of the time in a dirt lot with a pasture to graze in attached and a shed to take shelter in. What shelter is made available to a horse depends on the owner, the location, how many other horses are in the owner's care and how much that owner is willing to spend on his/her horse[s].
Feral or wild horses are often found in grassy meadows near forested areas, protected sections of open prairie or sparse arid grasslands that are a transition zone between grassland (prairie, savannah or veldt) and desert. Many feral horses are found in North America, Europe, Asia, New Zealand, and Australia.
