Anyone got a Spanish Mustang?

[EquineCompare]

I was reading in this months H&R about 'Spanish Mustangs'. Apparantley they are ' hardy with a gentle nature and tough constitution'. There is a picture of one and the breed looks nice too

They are also a rare breed so if you bought one you would be helping to preserve the breed.

Does anyone have one and if so could you give me some feedback on the breed please?

I don't own one ( if only I was that lucky) but there's some Uk info about them here http://www.spanishmustangs.org.uk/page_3/gallery.htm
Very rare in the UK it would appear.


I love this one http://www.spanishmustangs.org.uk/page_3/gallery_7_pages/page_2.htm

They have a beautiful regal elegance about them without losing that slightly wild look ( I'll add one to my Christmas list, think it'd fit under the tree??? lol)

That mustang has lovely markings, they look to be a lovely breed. I dread to think of the price tag though! I think I will have to see if santa brings me one too Doubt it

LOL not expensive....around £3000!
Beautiful hardy breed, maximum height 14.3 can carry quite a weight due to their shorter vertebrae.

This in an interesting link to read
also
Have a look at my album, Teton Brave, Prairie Breeze aka Twiggy and Cheyenne Promise.
All three can have their line traced back 100's of years to the Sioux and Cheyennes
Totally different breed to your normal horse, a thinking horse (can be a problem sometimes)
Well worth a read, and yes, there are less than 1000 registered SPANISH mustangs left int he world.

Not for long (i hope!) we now have them in UK and in Europe

Mainly because the Americans (as a general rule) prefer BIGGER horses and the SM isnt big, but sure can match any horse its put up against, especially in endurance !

Merry Christmas from me and my gang

Where did you hear that Americans prefer bigger horses? North America is the birthplace of the Quarter Horse and they are a hugely popular breed here; not a big one by a long shot. Most run about 14.2 to 15.2.

mustang owners

there are a few of us mustangers in the uk including 4 stallions standing at stud, I have 2 stallions and 3 mares in devon, with another lady having 1 stallion and 3 mares further up country, plus at least 2 other owners all in the south of england


they are wonderful horses and work really well with natural horsemanship methods. the average height is about 14hh - 15hh and they are great weight carriers.

The first ever New Forest x Spanish Mustang has arrived

Arragon Beau has arrived and wow what a bold stocky little chap.
Much more approachable than his older brother Apache Dreamer who arrived 22 march but he is PURE spanish Mustang.
