The mustang horse
The mustang is a well-known horse that is seen by many people as a living symbol of the romantic and pioneer enthusiasm of the Wild west.
Even though Mustangs are frequently referred to as 'wild' horses, the more correct expression is 'feral' horses as all free-roaming horses living in Mexico and the u.s. are bred from horses that were originally domestic horses shipped to The usa by the colonists.
The majority of these early horses were of Andalusian or Arabian breeding stock, but had amongst them all possible colors and many people types and breeds.
A few of these brave horses escaped or were traded by the indigenous inhabitants, and swiftly spread throughout the whole country
