Spanish Mustang

During the 1950's, men joined to form an organization that had the purpose of preserving the last of the old type of Spanish Mustangs.  The breed once roamed throughout the western United States in large numbers, but during that time they were threatened to become extinct.  In order to preserve the breed, a man by the name of Brislawn collected individual horses that he himself considered to be the best examples of the Spanish Mustang breed.

The Spanish Mustang is known for stamina and toughness, and is a good characteristic that shows their Spanish heritage.  Other breeds would have perished in conditions that the Spanish Mustang was able to survive and multiply.  The spanish horse has a very profound influence on numerous breeds.  Modern Spanish Mustang horses retain the qualities that the horses had when teh Spaniards conquered a new world.
