Mustang Horses

This Week I want to take the time to let everyone know about some of the prettiest, toughest, All American Hearted horses around. The Mustang. Mustang horses have roamed the hills, valleys, and mountains for years even before the settlers came. They are one with the land. But the truth be known, Mustangs are not considered wild horses, they are considered feral because they were brought over here by the Spanish and then Americans claimed them to quickly travel the terrain.

Mustangs have had a tough life, once settlers began settling the United States, Mustangs were pushed further and further west until really there wasn’t much room for them anymore. Landowners started shooting them because there wasn’t enough land for cattle and all the Mustangs to graze. Now in today time the population of true free Mustangs is very slim. There are only a handful of true free mustangs that roam the hills of the west. However, there are many Mustangs in captivity by people who have been rescued form slaughterhouses or had nowhere else to go.

Now that you understand and know the Mustang background a little better. Do your part, by researching the Save a Mustang Foundation today. They provide great services to these horses.
