Mustangs!!!!!!

Mustangs were brought to America by the Spanish explorers in the 16th century. Their name cam from the Spanish word "mustengo" which means "owner-less beast" or "stray horse". The original mustangs bred with other breeds, such as quarter horses, and draft horses, which make up the breed of quarter horses we know today. 

Mustangs measure from 14 to 15 hands. And their average weight is 800 pounds. 
They are usually bay, or sorrel colored, but if bred with other breeds they can be more colors. Mustangs can also have a variety of colors, patches, spots, and strips. 
they can live up to 40 years.
