Kiger Mustang

In 1977, in Lake County, Oregon- a herd of hourses that appeared to have a strong Spanish heritage were brought in.  All of the horses in the mustang herd had zebra striped legs and dorsal stripes.  The Kiger Mustang has a barb head and average weight of 750 pounds.

The Kiger Mustang was preserved.  The found herd was split into two groups, and measures were taken to be sure that no other horse breeds were in the area where the horses were released.

Through the Adopt-a-horse program, many Kiger Mustangs have been adopted and have shown that they have a willingness to learn and are good workers.
