In history, the Spanish Mustang was among the horses that played a big role for it descends from the horses that originated from Spain when the first conquest for North and South America was going on. The colonial Spanish horse is the usual name for this horse, which records an extremely low population in Spain today. People today often confuse this horse with the American Mustang and they have largely domesticated it.
The American Mustang descended from Spanish and feral horses. Feral horses are the horses that escaped from certain protected habitats in western United States and began living in the wild. During the late nineteenth century, the introduction of thoroughbreds and Arabians took place by Morgans.
The Spanish Mustangs are the descendants of various horse breeds that originated from the Iberian Peninsula and got introduced into the Caribbean in the first thirty years of the new world's conquest. These horses therefore directly descend from the Spanish horses that came from Hispaniola in Cuba and other close islands as the Spanish colonized New Spain, called Mexico today.
They should not be confused with the horses widespread in Spain during its Golden Age because that breed is nearing extinction in Spain and is not bred or preserved. From the 16th century onwards Mexico was conquered and the horses moved north by crossing the Rio Grande. The next century saw these horses being stolen and sold by the Native Indians tribes from this region to the tribes living in the Rocky Mountains and also the Great Plains.
The horse was considered really small for farming and was replaced by bigger and heavier horses. The majority of the new horses were introduced into the populations of the Spanish Mustang in order to crossbreed a heftier and sturdier horse.
They did this by introducing the Morgans and thoroughbreds into the wild horses. Two brothers founded the Spanish Mustang Registry Inc. in 1959 for the reason of preserving the population of the Spanish Mustang that remained.
Using two full brothers as the foundation stallions and genuine mares they began crossbreeding. However one of the horses actually escaped with its mares in 1944 and was never captured again. The Spanish Mustang can be used in different fields. It is a very versatile breed and can be used for Polo, showing, driving, jumping or possibly dressage.
Some kinds of Spanish Mustangs are helpful for ranch work and as stock horses in performances. Some horses served the purpose of being cavalry mounts for the U.S.A Army throughout their battles with the Apache Indians. These horses managed the barren terrain well displaying that they were ideal for battle.
The Spanish Mustang horses are of various colors such as brown, black, bay and chestnut. Other colors include grullo, cremello and buckskin. These horses are attractive and they have these colors on their base and patches or white hair on their tops. These hairs and patches create various colors like gray, pure white, paint and the dark spots that have similarity with those found on the Appaloosa breed.
