Mustangs are small, tough horses. They carry their heads high and proud. Perhaps this is because they navigate the wilderness without being cared for or tended by humans.

After the Mustangs, noble Arabian and Berber horses came to America. They mixed with the Mustangs, which is why many wild horses still exhibit their elegant physique today. Mustangs are often said to be quite stubborn. This is because their free lifestyle makes them very independent from humans. They also give birth to their foals without any outside help. Most of the time, they are born at night. This is safer because their enemies—especially cougars—tend to hunt more during the brighter twilight.
