No. The Mustang has just about every breed of horse bred in its gene pool, from the Spanish Barbarians to Thoroughbreds, Quarter Horses, Arabians, Clydesdales, or even Andalusian. The Mustang is known as its own breed like the Arabian or the Halter Reel, but it is most commonly known as mesteña, which is Spanish for wild or stray, since Mustangs are made up of horses that have escaped or ran away from their human owners.

Mustangs are officially recognized as a breed. They can be registered with the North American Mustang Association and Registry or the Spanish Mustang Registry. Mustangs are not "purebloods" in the sense of Thoroughbred or Arabians, as they are descended from stay horses brought over by the Spaniards during the colonial era, and their bloodline continue to be diluted by escaped or "freed" horses of all different breeds today.
