The Spanish Mustang has many outstanding characteristics. Foremost is his sensible disposition, agility, alertness, and hardiness. His size (13.3 to 15 hands) and smooth way of traveling are also desirable traits."True" Mustangs, ones with a strong wild background, have high endurance and a herding instict. Mustangs also have very hard hoofs. Mustangs are descended from domesticated horses that escaped, and are a mixture of breeds and types. No particular type is dominant, however, nature prefers those well-suited to their environment to survive. Mustangs that live in colder climates are shaggy and small, and desert mustangs can survive on remarkably small amounts of food and water. Small regional bands often share a type and sometimes a colour because they are often all descended from one stallion who becomes dominant and leads a large band of mares, who breed to him almost exclusively.

how mustangs are differentMost mustangs are small.(because of a great degree of variation over the years) most mustangs are 13-15 hh. And after years of living in a tough eviroment, they have tough hooves,long manes and tails( the horses used by the Spanish conquestadoresescaped during the 1500's) Many people belive these horses are closely related the now extinct Spanish jennet and the north African barb( a close relitive of the Arab).

Morgan horses are good natured, hardworking, and active. With my experience, they can be a bit stubborn, too. ;)

They are very social, kind, caring and willing horses that you can really bond with and love. They are known as the horse that will love you back, and this is very true. My Morgan is a complete overachiever, so she's always up to anything. They also have tons of show-ring style, and like to show off. They have comfortable gaits and combination movement, which is suitable for dressage, and breed classes.

All horses, no matter what breed share the exact same features. Some features are more pronounced in certain breeds, in this case the Mustang would have a stronger flight response than some other breeds. They will also likely have stronger hooves, and bones in general. They will also be better able to eat and process tougher food stuffs.

an Arab horse has a "dished" small nose, a Shire is the largest horse in the world but looks a lot like a clydesdale, which is big-boned and very strong. a frisan only be black or dark brown. A mini horse is just what it sounds like, well, mini. A thoroughbred is large, long-backed, and fast. a polo pony is really a horse, and they are short and fast. a paint or skewbald has patches of color all over it, and here are two kinds: overo and tobanio. overo looks like white with splotches, and tobanio looks like color with white splotches. confusing. a lipizzaner is from Spain; they are bred in Austria and they can do magnificent dressage/dancing moves like the capirole.
