OVERVIEW
The Mustang descended from horses brought to the Americas by the Spanish Conquistadors over 400 years ago. In the 1500s, Spanish explorers and settlers moved into North America, bringing their horses with them. The Mustang descended from Spanish horses which either strayed, broke loose or were stolen from the explorers herds. These horses multiplied freely over hundreds of years on the open plains of the West. In 1834, for instance, 15,000 Mustangs were seen in the vicinity of an Indian camp in Texas. The Mustang's wild home gave it a tough and independent nature. Its hearty constitution made it an excellent horse for cowboys and some were even broken to pull stagecoaches.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The Mustang is a relatively small, hearty horse and since its breeding is not controlled, appears in various forms. Some are rough and unattractive; others are elegant and resemble their Oriental ancestors from Spain. They generally stand between 14 and 15 hands. Their coloring is various. Spotted colors are quite common, gurllo, a blue-gray color is often seen, as is buckskin, a dun color with black points. The Mustang is of uneven temperament and is very rugged.

ORIGIN
The Mustang is a descendent of Spanish horses brought to the Americas first by the Spanish in the early 1500s. As such, their ancestry traces back to Barb and Arabian horses brought to Spain by the Moors. The Mustang is found throughout the Western United States. The term "Mustang" is derived from the Spanish work mestena which means horses of uncertain ownership.

INTERESTING FACTS
Spanish horses, the ancestors of the Mustang, thrived in the arid environment of the American West since it so clearly represented that of Spain and North Africa. The Spanish horses which escaped from captivity multiplied rapidly. The number of escaped horses was quite large. As early as 1596, for instance, the Spanish Governor of Santa Fe reported 300 horses and mules, one-fifth of the stock, had strayed while grazing. A century later, in 1690, General Alonzo De Leon lost 126 horses in East Texas. In 1691, a Spanish expedition lost another 135 horses. By the 1800s, one observer reported seeing 20,000 Mustangs grazing in the San Joaquin Valley of California.

Povijest

Mustang potječe od konja koje su Španjolci u 16.st. sa sobom doveli u Ameriku. Neki od tih konja pobjegli su u divljinu i potom se proširili po sj. američkim prerijama…

Ime mustang potječe iz španjolske riječi mesteno – bez vlasnika, a izvedena je iz lamesta što otprilike znači ti pripadaš svakom i nikom.

Američki Indijanci mustange su upotrebljavali kao jahaće konje , a neka plemena željela su mustange određene boje.



Ponašanje

Mustanzi se udružuju u krda koja se sastoje od jednog pastuha i njegova harema od 2 do 8 kobila i njihovih ždrebadi i mladih pastuha. To im je ujedno i način obrane. Krdo ima svoj teritorij na kojem pase. Stranim krdima dozvoljavaju pristup do određenih rubova tog teritorija. U krdu najčešće dominira najstarija kobila-predvodnica koja krdo izvodi iz opasnosti dok se pastuh bori. Pred neprijateljem se uspravlja na stražnje noge, rže, podiže mnogo prašine i prednjim nogama pokušava oboriti neprijatelja.



Razmnožavanje

Kobile su spremne za parenje između travnja i lipnja. To znači da će ždrebad doći na svijet u u proljeće – 11 mjeseci nakon oplodnje. Kad dođe vrijeme ždrijebljenja, kobila napusti krdo, pronađe neko mjesto gdje će se oždrijebiti. Malo će ždrijebe u visokoj travi biti gotovo nevidljivo. Ždrebad se može uspraviti na noge već kratko vrijeme nakon ždrijebljenja, a ubrzo može i trčati. Tada se kobila i ždrijebe vraćaju u krdo gdje ždrijebe ostaje uz svoju majku još barem 1 godinu. Pošto pastuh u svojoj blizini ne podnosi druge pastuhe, otjera sve mlade pastuhe iz krda. Oni tada lutaju sami ili u skupinama sve dok ne odrastu.



Hrana

Mustanzi su biljožderi (to znamo). Zbog nedostatka i niske hranjive vrijednosti biljne hrane koja raste na tom području , mustanzi su se morali prilagoditi hrani koja njihovim pitomim srodnicima ne odgovara. Oni se zapravo sami brinu za svoju prehranu. To rade tako da svojom stolicom izbacuju neprobavljene klijave sjemenke biljaka koje su pojeli. Također u iznimnim slučajevima mogu izdržati bez vode i hrane nekoliko dana. Naučili su kopitima razbijati led da bi došli do hrane i vode ili otkapati pijesak.



Visina grebena – do 1, 40 m

Spolna zrelost – s 3 godine, pastuh počinje voditi krdo sa 6 godina

Parenje – od travnja do lipnja

Trajanje bređosti – 11 mjeseci

Broj mladunaca – 1, ponekad 2

Ponašanje – društven, živi u krdima

Glasanje – rzanje, njištanje

Hrana – trava i lišće

Životni vijek – do 20 godina

Srodne vrste – sa svim ostalim pasminama konja

Mustang

Also Known As: American feral horse, BLM (Bureau of Land Management) horse, Range horse

The Mustang is a feral horse found now in the western United States. The name Mustang comes from the Spanish word mesteño or monstenco meaning wild or stray. Originally these were Spanish horses or their descendants but over the years they became a mix of numerous breeds. These were the horses which changed the lives of the Native Americans living in or near the Great Plains. As European settlers came farther west they brought their horses with them. Some were lost to Indian raids, others were freed as wild stallions tore down fences to add the tame mares tn his herd or tame horse escaped from settlers as the original horses had escaped from the Spanish. Draft breeding was among the horses which added to the Mustang herds. Also the Indians bartered and captured horses between tribes, making the distribution more complete.

Herds of wild horses from the eastern United States were forced west by civilization and eventually crossed the Mississippi River and joined the western herds. French blood was introduced to the mix from herds pressured out of the Detroit area and from French settlers in the South in the region around New Orleans.

Another breed that probably contributed to the blood of the Mustang is the old-type East Friesian. For a period of over 10 years during the late 1800s and early 1900s about 150 stallions each year were purchased by the U.S. government from Germany. The old-style East Friesian of that time was a heavy warmblood or coach horse and was purchased to pull artillery or heavy wagons. So wherever the US calvary was found in battles in the west these horses were found, and undoubtedly some escaped and added their blood to that of the American Mustang.

The large herds of wild horses did not pose a particular problem until the western United States became settled and cattle and other grazing animals were added to the native range. The arid lands of the west could not support a large population of grazing animals and on some ranches it became the policy to shoot Mustangs. The population of Mustangs at the beginning of the twentieth century is estimated at two million. By 1926 the population had been halved. The current population varies but is near 30,000. In 1971, Congress passed the Wild Free-Roaming Horse and Burro Act which protected these animals. The Department of the Interior, through the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Department of Agriculture, through the Forest Service, have the responsibility of administering this law.

Under this protection the population of wild horses quickly grew during the 1970s until control of their population became a major concern. Amendments in 1976 and 1978 to the original 1971 Act addressed the problem and need to dispose of the animals being removed. The agencies continued to work toward appropriate management levels and removal of excess animals was needed to reach those goals. This actions was taken to comply with the requirement that the Secretary of the Interior "shall immediately remove excess animals from the range so as to achieve appropriate management levels." The act directs the removal of all excess animals "to restore a thriving natural ecological balance to the range, and protect the range from the deterioration associated with over population."

The Adopt-A-Horse program was begun in 1973 in the Pryor Mountains of Montana as a humane way to distribute the excess animals. Through this program excess animals are made available to the public at a cost of $125 for each horse and burro. Adopters must meet certain requirements for furnishing safe transportation and housing for the animal. The animals remain the property of the government for one year following the adoption. At the end of the year the adopter is asked to submit a statement from a veterinarian, extension agent, local humane official or other qualified individual certifying that the animal has had proper care. After approval a certificate of title is issued and the animal becomes the legal property of the adopter. These mustangs, while requiring experienced handlers, usually become as tractable as any horse raised from birth on a farm. Because they are largely the product of natural selection these animals are usually fine riding animals and exceptional in endurance trials.

Most Mustangs are of the light horse or warmblood type. Horses of draft conformation are kept on separate ranges. The coat color is the full range of colors found in horses. While the Spanish blood has been diluted, many of the horses still exhibit Spanish characteristics. There has been a firmly held belief for several decades that there were no pure Spanish-type horse remaining on the ranges of the wild horse. But in recent years a few small herds have been found in very isolated areas which have been found through blood testing to be strongly decended from Spanish breeding. Among these are the Kiger and Cerat Mustangs.

hvala denc.....

erm..slike su supeer......
al mi se text neda prevodit......

Berta,Dedi... Viktorija i Čokolada se vode pod Mustange...? Ali ne kužim kako je Čoki mustang..?

Inace nije Dedi nego Debi ..otkud tebi da se vode pod mustange?

meni je zoki prico da je viki cistokrvni mustang, al kad malo bolje ramzislim, to je bilo kad sam tek dosla na ranch (orije 6 godina) pa me vjerojatno za*ebavo... al oke.. =)
viki je mjesanka pinta i...? a tata im je appaloosa.. neznam ja sada...

e pa baš zato pitam...jer sam i ja čula. i piše na onoj brošuri da imaju dva mustanga na ranch,a ne znam odakle mi da su to viki i čoki...

haha..ja sam se bas neki dan cula s Vikinim bivsim vlasnikom..I pitala sam ga koje je pasmine Viki..jer su me bas zanimali ti njeni papiri...i on mi je rekel da svi misle da je Viki pinto ,a zapravo da je HT..sam da ima boju pinta..sad neam pojma..

Errm.. Pa pod pinta se kolko ja znam može registrirat konj praktički bilo koje pasmine, samo mora biti dvobojan. Isto ko i kod palomina, nije bitna pasmina nego boja. Dok su paint konji mislim da isključivo šareni quarteri (al to me nemojte držat za riječ, nisam sto posto sigurna).

Uglavnom.. Po tome bi Viki bila HT, ali i pinto. Hehe.
