Mustang



"He's purebred Mustang." - Hidalgo



Name of Breed: Mustang


Height: 13 hands to 16 hands


Colors: Dun is the most popular color but they can be almost any color.




Distinguishing Physical Characteristics: Due to the fact that mustangs are often wild and have been allowed to interbred with a variety of other horse breeds they can have a range of conformations.




Additional Info: These horses were brought to the Americas by the Spanish and were left to roam wild for the most part. These would be the horses that the Native Americans were able to capture and use. They are often highly spirited and stubborn but sturdy and tough.
