The mustang
The mustang is a well-known horse and due to its unique place in history, is seen by many americans as a living symbol of the romantic and adventurous spirit of the American wild west.
Although Mustangs are most often called 'wild' horses, the more correct term is 'feral' horses as all free-roaming horses living in The usa are descended from horses that were initially domesticated animals shipped over to The usa by the early settlers.
Most of these imported horses were of Andalusian or Arab breeding stock, although they also had amongst them all conceivable colours and many people breed types.
It is thought that some of these independent and clever horses went wild or were bought by native americans, and soon spread throughout the whole of the u.s.
