Mustangs live in the wild all year round. They are extremely tough, resilient horses. If they are not used to people, they tend to be cautious & reticent when they encounter them. Mustangs are significantly more robust than other horse breeds because they stay outdoors even in cold, wet & windy weather. In winter, they develop such a thick coat that any snow that lands on it does not melt. In addition to the herd stallion, in every mustang herd there is also always a herd mare. She ensures that all the horses in the herd are doing well, & leads them to sources of water or verdant grasslands. If Mustangs are tamed, they are extremely versatile horses that are especially suited to leisure, trail & endurance riding.
