Welcome @poker666,
This area is an English-speaking forum so I've gone ahead and added an English translation. If you wish to speak in your native language you can find the International Forum section here.
Thanks! :)

Domestic horses in PZ is a no-need for me. We are still missing so many wild animals that are popular in zoos.
I'd support wild equine species though, like others mentioned. I'm also not completely against domestic animals, as long as they are kind of representing a region. I'd love watusi cattle.
But a Shire Horse or a Haflinger in a zoo? Nah, doesn't make sense.

Perhaps some of the feral horse breeds could work.

Alternatively, it could be interesting to add ponies and horses as a tour option. Riding through some exhibits rather than using vehicles.

I'd love to see some of the wild horse species. Unlike almost everyone else on the forum, I don't like most of the classic zoo animals (lions, elephants, rhinos, giraffes, etc) either in my game or to go visit in zoos. I love to see the wild deer, goats, canids, equines, etc.

Domesticated horses are not zoo animals, the closest you get iz ponies in petting zoos.

I'd go for a persian onager or spmali wuld donkey. And I personally don't like them, but a lot of people want the Przewalsky wild horse

Many zoos keep petting zoos as part of their collection. My local has a pair of Gypsy Vanner horses, for example. It wouldn't be any stranger than including the llama.

I know the llama is as agrigating to you as the giant otter is for me :D, but: Llamas for me kind of represent a region and are still "foreign", while domestic horses and ponies are everywhere.

Then again, domestic llamas aren't that common here as well, might be different for NZ?

Edit: Now that I think of it we don't have many horses in petting zoos either. Donkeys more . German ponies seem to like to bite too much ;)

Llamas are everywhere in New Zealand, yes, but they are also everywhere in North America and, of course, in plenty of places in South America.

My point is more that they're domestic. Take, for example, New Zealand's kunekune pig - it features in a number of international zoo collections but I doubt it would be a popular choice for the game. Likewise with animals like the Ankole cattle from Africa, or the Vietnamese pot-bellied pig, or the pygmy goat, all of which are just as exotic as the llama.

I mean, the horses I mentioned at my local zoo aren't even included in the farmyard area, they're displayed in their own corner as though they're equal to other exotic species, so in that at least they "outrank" the llama. ;)

Anyway, I was more trying to say that horse breeds, along with cattle breeds, sheep breeds, and especially chicken breeds, aren't any more out of place in the game than the llama if "domestic" is the only criterion we're worried about (in my case I'd prefer neither).

There are several Zoo based Safari Parks that have horses and ponies available as a tour option.

They spend a lot of money on making the habitats look as natural looking as possible, and many animals display more natural behaviors around mounts rather than vehicles. They also have some work horses and the like because horses can function as dither animals easily enough for newer animals that are adjusting to the area and the quarantine areas are often near horses that are on rest periods for their social needs while there...horses also don't have the same longer term issues with the animals there that can happen with some of the herds if there is some bad behavior there for the new animal.

For example, an overly aggressive zebra can be pointed out far more easily when with some horses than added to an existing herd in the park...where if the zebra gets in the herd, you can have some problems there with social dynamics...and, if nothing else, a horse is cheaper to replace than several other species there if there is a medical issue.
