| There has always been a question as to where the Bookcliff horses came from originally. A popular theory is that some of the horses that Chief Wakara of the Utes brought back, from the many horse raids that he made into California, escaped to form secluded bands, deep in the Bookcliffs. I'm sure that there were raids into New Mexico also. James Beckworth & Thomas “Pegleg” Smith partnered up with Wakara for the famous 1840 raid ,where the reported, thousands of horses were herded back across the desert to Wakara’s home range. The stolen herds were some of the finest bred horses in the world, at that time. |
| Chief Wakara’s horse pasture alone, ranged from the Sevier River, on the West to the Green River on the East. The Bookcliffs sit directly north of the Green River. Note the red area of the map above. It seems probable that the theory is correct….Or a huge coincidence. Research continues on the origin of our Sorraia Mustangs. |
