The Mustang Horse
The mustang is a very popular horse which is revered by many horse lovers as a living symbol of the influential and adventurous energy of the Old wild west.
But Mustangs are usually called 'wild' horses, the more accurate term is 'feral' horses as almost all free-roaming horses living in The u.s. are descended from horses that were originally domestic horses carried to Mexico and the u.s. by the conquistadors.
In most cases, these foreign horses were of European or Arab origins, but included all combinations of colours and many horse lovers breeds and types.
It is thought that some of these independent horses went wild or were bought by aboriginal americans, and swiftly spread right through the whole country.
