Mustangs have been recognized as “living symbols
of the historic and pioneer spirit of the West." A Mustang is a free-roaming horse of the North American West
that first descended from horses brought to the Americas by
the Spanish. Today, the Mustang population is managed and protected by the Bureau of Land Management. Many methods of
population management are used, including the adoption by private individuals of horses taken from the range.
