Why Horses?

America’s Heritage

Mustangs are the symbol of America West. These magnificent animals and their domesticated counterparts played a pivotal role in forging diverse cultures into one nation.

As descendants from domesticated horses brought to the New World by Spanish Explorers and Missionaries during the 16th century, today’s feral, free-roaming horses challenge the scientific definition of being truly “wild”. Century’s prior, mustang ancestors had once-upon-a-time been tamed. The term mustang evolved into American slang in the early 1800’s derived from the Spanish words mesteño and mostrenco. Both terms refer to wild horses and cattle as having no master.
