The Mustang

The mustang is a feral horse, meaning it was once domesticated but it escaped or was returned to the wild. They were brought over when the Spanish came to explore the Americas. The mustang population only began to grow when the Native Americans began to ride and breed them. More. Then when whites began to colonize the West, the population of these horses changed. The horses chosen for breeding were removed from the wild and those that were inferior were left to roam. As a result of their cross with thoroughbreds, very few characteristics of the mustang can be traced back to their Spanish blood.
Unfortunately, as recently as 1998, mustangs have been killed. Cattle ranchers are angry that the mustang takes up grazing land for cattle. In reality, the mustangs' land provides just 3 % of the country's beef. 

This is my favorite color of all mustangs. If I had enough money and enough land, I would have a mustang of my own.
Film Fact: It stars in the film "Hidalgo."
