Did you know that......

The first Mustangs descended from Iberian horses brought to Mexico and Florida. Most of these horses were of Andalusian , Arabian and Barb ancestry. Some of these horses escaped or were stolen by Native Americans, and rapidly spread throughout western North America.  Native Americans quickly adopted the horse as a primary means of transportation. Horses replaced the dog as a travois puller and greatly improved success in battles, trade, and hunts, particularly buffalo hunts.
Today, Mustangs are protected under United States law, but have disappeared from several states where there were once established populations.
More than half of all Mustangs in North America are found in Nevada (which features the horses on its State Quarter in commemoration of this), with other significant populations in Montana, Wyoming and Oregon.

                

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.
