The mustang
The mustang horse is an extremely popular horse which is seen by many people as a living and breathing symbol of the historic and adventurous spirit of the Wild west.
Even though Mustangs are commonly called 'wild' horses, the more accurate term is 'feral' horses as most so-called 'wild' horses inside America are descended from horses that were originally domesticated horses shipped over to Mexico and the u.s. by the spanish conquistadors.
Most of these early horses were of European or Arab breeding stock, but had amongst them all conceivable colors and many horse lovers types and breeds.
It is thought that some of these great horses escaped captivity or were bought by indigenous peoples, and rapidly spread right through the whole of america
