| 16 years ago we met and brought
home our first Spanish Mustang. One became many, a fellow Spanish Mustanger
bestowed upon us the name Many Ponies, our journey had begun!
What is a Spanish Mustang?
Horses of the Old West who changed the course of history in
this country. Mounts of the Indians, mountain men, cowboys and settlers.
Originating from Spanish horses, developed by man and nature thru their
history in this country. Thru the efforts of early dedicated horsemen, it
was recognized that the tough horses of the early west were worth
preserving. The first registry dedicated to saving the Spanish Mustang was
founded in 1957. Today there are a number of registries and dedicated
admirers involved in promotion and preservation efforts.
Here at Many Ponies
Our breeding program focuses primarily on developing
horses of using ability with intelligence and great dispositions. Spanish
Mustangs are unique in their rainbow of colors, many of our horses are of
painted patterns, including rare medicine hats. Size of 14 to 15 hands with
a Spanish Mustang's naturally sound feet and legs are attributes we greatly
value. While our focus is ranch and trail horses, Spanish Mustangs also are
proving themselves in Endurance riding, parades, gymkhanas, and various of
the English disciplines.
