The wiki (as well as many comments) makes it seem like horses despawn every time you sneeze. But I've been trying to get tamed or untamed horses to despawn, regardless of whether they are natural or egg spawned, and I haven't been able to do it. I've flown long distances away, logged off, and combinations thereof.
I'm trying to come up with a plan to populate my existing server with horses. They easiest way would be to simply fly around with a spawn egg, placing them randomly. Based on the wiki, I didn't think it was possible. Has the official release now made it so?
None of them despawn at all. It used to be all untamed horses (natural ones often before you even discovered them) before it got fixed after the first few snapshots.
I spawned a bunch of horses, then moved away until the chunks they were in were far enough away to unload. Then I returned. I also flew up to past 256 block level in the sky, quit the game, and re-entered.
In neither case did the horses I spawned disappear.

Mostly moved on. May check back a few times a year.
