Horses have always been.There are domestic horses, without which man can not be, and need to plow and harvest gathering, holidays fast ride in a troika, so who knows what else.And there are wild horses, freestyle race, live on their own, only to comply with the laws of the steppe, never eat their fill, that's why the smart, easy.Most wild horses - a former home, which cost the cruel fate.Either the horse lost a host and run wild in the wild, or she lost, lost and then nailed to the herd of wild horses.There are wild horses from birth, were born without any selection, in nature.In any case, the true mustangs are not much different from the wild, and they both live, migrate, produce offspring and are part of the equine fraternity on both sides of the Atlantic, on all continents and in all lands, except for the northern latitudes and frozen Antarctica.
herd of wild horses can grow up to 80 - 100 goals, if conditions are favorable.River or lake with fresh water is essential to increase the population and food supply in the form of natural pastures with dense grass - the key to a peaceful life mustangs.Sometimes wild horses join the herd, which was formed long ago.After some difficulties, they are accepted.Each herd is divided into a few stocks of 20-30 horses each.The owner cant leader, an adult horse is healthy and strong.Each horse has a herd instinct, she knows all his colleagues on the doorpost, the leader of the tribe, and the young, for whom keep an eye.Foals do not think that you need to stay near their run away and wander in the distance, causing worry mare mother.
After all, wild horses, too, have enemies: wolves and bears, lynx and leopard, are just waiting, when a sucker-foal discourage from the herd and left without protection.For many centuries the free life in the desert and the prairie mustangs learned to defend himself.When attacking wolves, animals, horse sense danger and slipping into a tight circle so that the hind legs are outside the range of predators and can not be risen without the risk of getting hit weighty hoof.Youngsters with mares is located inside the circle, and adult stallions keep a perimeter defense.
On mustangs people usually do not hunt as prey, they do not represent the values, meat horse meat is considered a third-and demand does not use.Sometimes pastoralists catch mustangs to tame and domesticate.But wild horses by nature are not amenable to education, they are very difficult to ride and it is practically impossible to travel.If the number of mustangs come across a wild horse, but had previously lived in the master's herd, then it is easier, because some reflexes saved the home life in the minds of the horse and he just needs to be reminded of the past.But the wild horses photos you see, sometimes run wild so that they return to the old life is not possible and we have to let go at will.
Equine so developed at the moment, it is easier to buy a horse ridden? Home than to mess with a stubborn and wayward savage, trying to teach him good manners.Therefore, very few people want to do the taming mustangs, except for extreme sports competitions equestrian sport when brave to try the dispute as long as possible to stay on the back and almost unbroken mustang saddled.Such events, called rodeo popular in North America, where even have their champions.
