The Mustang Horse
The mustang horse is a very popular horse and is recognized by many as a living and breathing symbol of the romantic and pioneer enthusiasm of the Wild west.
But Mustangs are often called 'wild' horses, the more correct word is 'feral' horses as almost all so-called 'wild' horses in Mexico and the u.s. are descended from horses that were first domesticated horses shipped over to Mexico and the u.s. by the settlers.
Mostly, these imported horses were of European or Arab stock, but also included a wide range of colors and many breeds.
It is thought that some of these brave horses got loose or were acquired by the indigenous tribes, and swiftly spread throughout the whole country.
