Mustang is a hardy, naturalized (feral) horse of the North American west. The mustang descended from Spainish Barb horses brought to America by Spanish explorers. Currently, wild horses are far more genetically diverse compared to any breed of domestic horse in the US. This means that wild horses are healthier and have little to no inbreeding in the herds. They come in all sizes, colors and body types.
Because of their hardiness, grace, speed, and independence, the name "Mustang" is popular for high-performance products and for sports mascots. For additional information, please see:
