my mustang is pretty big (15.2 plus) and very big
boned with a quite spanish looking head. However, she is also big framed;
not bulky muscled. She is not what I would really consider a thick-bodied
horse; but lets see, very good shoulder, deep hearth girth;chest width and croup
consistent with spanish conformation....
This thread is very interesting to me as I am conditioning my mustange
mare to do a 25 mile Ride and Tie in April. My question is concerning the
overall body types of the mustangs you have competed on or seen during rides.
Little Horse has some failry large bone structure (she is out of the Green
River area of Wyoming-Percheron influences) and would be considered a thick
bodied horse compared to an Arabain. No question she is tough. I would hope to
do at least some 30 mile endurance rides on her eventually, I am not looking
to be highly competetive, just enjoy the ride and have her remain sound and
out of trouble. So...what do you think? Martina
