Mustangs have a wonderful history.
These wild horses have a history all the way back to the Spanish exploration of the New World. The horses that escaped from the Spanish were joined by other breeds when the European settlers went west. The result is that Mustangs are good and hardy breed. About 100 years ago there were about 2 million wild horses in this country. Because most of the land has been taken for private use, the horses lost most of their range.
