What are the characteristics of a Mustang horse? |
Mustang Characteristics
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.
It depends.
