Mustangs are a feral horse originally descended from escaped horses brought over by the Spaniards. The Spanish or Iberian horses were bred as riding/war horses. The mustang was further modified in many regions by the introduction of "improvement" stallions (Thoroughbreds primarily) so that they could be used as remounts for the

US cavalry.
