Summary:

Horses have been part of the American West since the first Spanish explorers brought their European-bred steeds onto the new continent.Soon thereafter, some of these animals, lost or abandoned by their owners or captured by indigenous peoples, became the foundation of the great herds of mustangs (from the Spanish mesteño , stray) that still roam.
