American Mustang - a wild horse, living now in the western United States. The word "Mustang" is derived from English words or mesteno monstenco, meaning "wild" or "no man's land. This term accurately describes the wild horses of the United States. The modern horse evolved three million years ago and disappeared from this hemisphere 10,000 years ago. Horses returned to North America when explorers Cortes and de Soto came on horseback on the magnificent Barbary and Andalusian horses. These were horses that have changed the lives of American Indians who lived on the Great Plains or in the vicinity. Indians Pueblo learned to ride and passed this skill to other tribes.
In 1680, the Indians revolted against English rule and the Spaniards left Thousands of horses in a hasty retreat. The Indians caught the horses, but some of them escaped. Much easier was to raid the English settlers and steal their horses. Trying to stop the Indian raids, the English government has equipped the New World ship with reinforcements. The hope was that the Indians will catch the "wild" horses and leave alone the Spaniards. Tens of thousands of horses the English breed, transformed into free animals grazed on the Rio Grande about 200 years. These horses soon met with heavy truck and cowboy ponies escaped from ranches and farms belonging to settlers from the east.
When European settlers moved westward, they took with them horses. Some of them were lost during the raids of the Indians, others have been hijacked by wild stallions, destroying fences corral to add domestic mares in his herd, or domestic horses ran down from immigrants. In addition, the Indians traded or capturing horses from other tribes.
herds of wild horses from the eastern United States were forced west by civilization, crossed the river Mississippi and merged with the western herds. French blood was introduced herds, ousted from the territory in the Detroit area and escaped from the French settlers from the South, from the New Orleans area. Another breed, whose blood is likely to be present in Mustangs, is the East Friesian old type. Government The United States for more than 10 years since the end of 1880 to early 1900's every year, bought about 150 stallions from the German government. East Friesian horses at that time were massive warm-blooded or draft animals, and sold for the needs of heavy artillery, or for the transportation of large vans. Thus, horses, runaway from the battlefield by American cavalry, could surge our blood Mustang.
