FACTS

• The wild mustangs used to have 53 acres of their own, now they they have 27 acres all together.

• There used to be one thousand, nine hundred, two million, wild mustangs on their land. Now there are some where between 15,000 or 30,000 left.

• A stallion is NOT a breed! I have heard too many people think that a black stallion, is a breed. It is not. A black stallion, just means a black male horse that can produce babies. That is what a stallion is, a male horse that can produce foals, or babies. A stallion is usually head of the herd. He leads, protects, and mates with the other members of his herd, which are normally mares, (female horses over the age of 4) and a few other stallions. There is always a dominant stallion in the herd, and he takes advantage of that and usually gets a few mares to breed with him.

• One of the funniest things to see a horse do is the flehmen response. It is when a stallion curls his upper lip back, sort of smashing his nostrils! He does this to sniff the air to tell if a mare is ready to mate.
