Mustang Breeds Equestrian
Mustang Horses (American Indian Horses or Spanish Horses) were brought to the New World by the Spanish in the 1500s. These were the best horses of that time - a mixture of Barb, Arabian, and Andalusia blood. The native horses that inhabited the North American continent became extinct about 10,000 years ago. The horse was absent in that area until the Spanish Conquistador Cortez reintroduced them.Mustangs were much better than cavalry horses. The United States Army found that the only way to conquer Indians is to take their horses away from them. Complete massacres of Indian horse herds made it possible. The Mustang Horse contributed to formation of many American breeds: the Morgan, Quarter Horse, American Saddlebred, Tennessee Walker, Appaloosa, Buckskin, and others. Mustangs remain now as they always have been. Mustang Horses are among the very few that has not lost its characteristics due to the whims of man.
