Mustang Horses Heritage

Mustang horses are probably the most well known type of wild horse, particularly within the United States. Celebrated in American culture for their freedom and their courage, the mustang is a breed of warm-blooded horses that live in the southwestern United States. Although horses were not originally native to north, central, or south America, today’s mustang horses descended from the domesticated warm-bloods brought to the new world by Spanish explorers.

Mustang Horses

Mustang horses are spotted everyday we ride the great divide. Many individual mustang bands, numbering from a just few head upwards to around a dozen horses each, often total upwards of 200 mares, foals, stallions, and juvenile stallions that are on the fringes of the main bands.

Mustang horses are also part of our American heritage. Without explorers bringing horses from Europe, we wouldn’t have the various breeds we have today. Without the pioneers and ranchers releasing horses in the wild, or them getting away, we wouldn’t have these wonderful mustang horses.
