Did you know that the Spanish explorers introduced horses to North America in the late fifteenth century? Native Americans then helped spread them throughout the continent. A mustang is a hardy and graceful naturalized horse of the North American west. The earliest mustangs escended from Spanish horses brought to Mexico in the 1500s. Some of these horses escaped and quickly spread throughout western North America. By 1900 there were an estimated one million wild Mustangs. They were often viewed as a nuisance in that they competed with livestock. Many were poisoned or shot. Today, Mustangs are protected by the Federal Government with a population of between 40,000 to 100,000.
