Both horses and cattle came to the Americas in around 1490 when Christopher Columbus arrived with many Spanish refugees fleeing from Spain to develop new colonies in the New World and take over new land to call their own. He brought over the Spanish barbarian type horses (which are the foundation of the American/Spanish Mustangs and native american indian ponies), and criollo or longhorn-type cattle (which are the foundation of the "native" American breeds including Texas Longhorn and Florida Cracker/Pineywoods). These cattle and horses, after being abandoned or escaping from settlements, became wild and feral and spread out both in Mexico and what is now known as the USA. The horses were found out by the Native Americans to be highly useful for hunting buffalo and transporting their camps from place to place. Consequently, these horses were able to spread all over the USA and into Canada, including what is now known as the state of Colorado. As for cattle, there weren't really many, if any, cattle in Colorado until after the American Civil War and many ranches started popping up all over the American West, including Colorado. With the onset of ranches, came more horses and yes, more cattle.
