The Mustang Horse
The mustang is a well-known horse and is revered by many people as a living symbol of the influential and pioneer energy of the Old wild west.
Although Mustangs are usually known as 'wild' horses, the more appropriate phrase is 'feral' horses as all so-called 'wild' horses in Mexico and the u.s. are bred from horses that were originally domestic horses shipped to The usa by the early colonists.
Almost all of these early horses were of Spanish or Arab origins, but had amongst them a wide variety of colours and many americans breeds and types.
A good number of these independent horses escaped captivity or were bought by indigenous americans, and soon spread throughout the whole country.
