The road that we call life, takes many turns, running uphill as well as down.
The path that led me to Spanish Mustangs was filled with many strange coincidences.
It took awhile but ultimately, those coincidental events led me to the people who are as
passionate as I am about preserving these horses . They are considered a little
abnormal by most people’s standards. I guess I am as abnormal as any “Mustanger”.
I don’t see this as a problem at all, if it means that these horses always stay the way
they were meant to be. Not changed by those that like “larger” horses, or Arab looking
heads, or maybe they wish their Spanish Mustang was not so hard to get to know. I
personally feel that anyone calling themselves a Mustanger, who wants to change one
hair on a true Spanish Mustang, needs to find another breed.
Spanish Mustangs don’t need changing or fixing. They came off the Conquistador’s
ships and nature toughened them into what they are today.
Our goal is to carry on with what the founders started years ago; to preserve, promote
and protect, foundation Spanish Mustangs.
There are several strains of recognized Spanish Mustangs that make up this
wonderful breed. They all slightly vary in looks but they have something unmistakable
in common, Iberian type which falls under our breed standard.
I am partial to Sorraia type Spanish Mustangs and am crazy about the Spanish LP
(appy) gene. We have focused on these for our breeding projects.
The more time that I spend with foundation Spanish Mustangs, the more worried I am
about their future. I haven’t seen many new people, or veterans to this breed, who are
sincerely focused on preserving them. The old lines can’t be replaced once they are
gone. It takes one generation of thoughtless breeding to ruin a lifetime of
preservation. These horses are of the purest strains available today, among those
horses that arrived with the Conquistadors. Why would anyone want to change them?
Spanish Mustangs are tough, loyal and are very easy keepers. They make great ranch
horses and are naturally cowey. If you are interested in endurance, these horses
should be your choice. They were built for it. I have no doubt that these Spanish
Mustangs will excel in any discipline that you chose to take part in.
Arrow Rock horses are all registered with the SSMA & SMR Some are also registered
with the HOA & AIHR.
Welcome to the site. I hope you enjoy your visit!
