Who introduced horses to America?

The first horses to arrive in the Americas came aboard ship with the Spanish Conquistadors of the very late fifteenth and the sixteenth centuries. These were largely pure-bred Spanish horses of breeds such as the Andalusian, Jennet, and Barb. The mustangs of the American West are descended from horses that escaped captivity, or were turned loose by Spanish settlers. Over the last century and a half, they have inter-bred with horses escaped from and released by Anglo settlers, and their breed diluted. Purer forms of the Spanish horses exist still in the stock of Caribbean Paso Fino horses, Latin American Criollo horses, and especially in the refined Peruvian Paso horses found in Peru, and increasingly imported and bred in the USA.
