The Mustang Horse
The mustang horse is a famous horse and due to its unique place in history, is acknowledged by many as a live symbol of the historic and cowboy enthusiasm of the Wild west.
But Mustangs are usually referred to as 'wild' horses, the more correct name is 'feral' horses as almost all so-called 'wild' horses living in America are bred from horses that were initially domesticated animals shipped to America by the colonists.
The majority of these imported horses were of Andalusian or Arab breeding stock, but had amongst them all combinations of colours and many breeds and types.
Clearly, some of these independent and brave horses went wild or were bought by indigenous peoples, and soon spread right through the whole country.
