It is a common misconception that mustangs are "wild" horses, there are actually no horses native to the America's, the present day mustangs are descendants from the Spaish horses taken to America in the 16th century by the Conqistidores. When trained mustangs are often good riding horses that are commonly used in endurance cometitions because of their inherent "toughness", they are sure-footed and usually they do not need metal shoes like most other horses. However, the mustang can have many variations because they have been loosely termed as mustangs, and the other horses that they bred with were no recorded or regulated, so where other breeds of horses are usually certain colors, certain builds(or body types), and near the same height, mustangs come in every color, they have varying builds, and their heights range from 13~15.2 hh.
