The Mustang Horse
The mustang is a very well known horse that is seen by many as a symbolic representation of the historic and adventurous spirit of the Wild west.
Although Mustangs are usually known as 'wild' horses, the more correct expression is 'feral' horses as all free-roaming horses in The usa are descended from horses that were initially domestic animals shipped to Mexico and the u.s. by the spanish conquistadors.
Almost all of these early horses were of Andalusian or Arabian origins, but also included all conceivable colors and many people types and breeds.
It is thought that some of these brave horses got loose or were stolen by the indigenous inhabitants, and soon spread through the whole of america.
